Using collision avoidance frequency hopping technique in a fixed wireless network with star topology

This paper presents a theoretical analysis of throughput and transmission efficiency for a rapidly deployable data distribution network in UNII-bands. To enhance the network throughput, all radio links are considered to exercise a collision avoidance frequency hopping technique. Such a technique is extremely attractive for efficient utilization of unlicensed bands by a group of uncoordinated radio links. Performance analysis shows that the network can maintain a very high throughput and a low outage even when it is heavily loaded.
