Performance of anti-jamming techniques with bit interleaving in OFDM-based tactical communications

摘要

Tactical communications is a communication system which is applied to a military operation with some strict requirements compared to a commercial communication system. One of the important requirement is its security. This communication has a high risk to be attacked by jamming which generated by the adversary. The other important requirement is network flexibility to handle its high mobility and information exchange in a big order. To fulfil those special requirement of tactical communication, OFDM system is equipped with channel coding and interleaving to handle information damage caused by jamming. The jamming strategy used in this research is single-tone and multitone jamming which strike while information signal pass the AWGN channel. In this research. evaluate the performance of OFDM system which is equipped with Convolutional Encoder and Interleaver with various schemes. By using a half-rate convolutional encoder, for both parameters BER and interleaving gain, helical-scan interleaver scheme shows the best performance among block and random interleaver. However due to its complexity in applying this scheme, block interleaver which is the second best is preferred.
