In this article,the capacity of wireless multi-hop networks with the frequency hopping(FH) technique is derived.Different from the previous work based on non-spread spectrum(SS) system,this study is based on frequency hopping spread spectrum(FHSS) and the retransmission mechanism.The analysis results show that the normalized transport capacity decreases as 1/Mλ,when the total available frequency band is divided into M sub-bands for frequency hopping and the nodes are randomly distributed in space according to a Poisson point process with intensity λ .In this work,the best transmission range per hop to get the maximum capacity is also derived.Besides,the results summarize how the capacity of FH wireless multihop networks is affected by the outage probability,target signal to interference plus noise ratio(SINR) and other system parameters.
