  • Abstract
    An important parameter related to the efficiency of algorithms for data transmission on SS/TDMA systems is the number of switching modes they generate. It is shown in this note that time-optimal algorithms produce the maximum number of switchings only if the transmission duration L is exponential in N , where N is the number of channels. This result explains the good performance exhibited by those algorithms in several simulation results.
