ABSTRACT

In this paper, we consider a decentralized wireless communication network with a fixed number $u$ of frequency sub-bands to be shared among $N$ transmitter-receiver pairs. It is assumed that the number of active users is a random variable with a given probability mass function. Moreover, users are unaware of each other's codebooks and hence, no multiuser detection is possible. We propose a randomized Frequency Hopping (FH) scheme in which each transmitter randomly hops over a subset of $u$ sub-bands from transmission to transmission. We derive lower and upper bounds on the mutual information of each user and demonstrate that, for large Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) values, the two bounds coincide. This observation enables us to compute the sum multiplexing gain of the system and obtain the optimum hopping strategy for maximizing this quantity. We compare the performance of the FH system with that of the Frequency Division (FD) system in terms of several performance measures and show that (depending on the probability mass function of the number of active users) the FH system can offer a significant improvement implying a more efficient usage of the spectrum.
