Abstract

Abstract:
In this paper we employ the codes with shorter length, which are chained with each
other in such a way to bring forth the multilevel coding while using Reed Solomon
(RS) decoding as forward error correction (FEC). The dependably of these chained
codes can be ascertained from the simulation results especially when the system is
under the menace of hostile jammers and interference, which turn out to be
reduced number of errors. Fast frequency hopping (FFH) and multicarrier
transmission are the diversity techniques used in this paper as conventional and
alternative techniques respectively for the system.
