Based on the triple Data Encryption Standard (DES) block cipher frequency-hopping (FH) sequences, a kind of packet protocol for frequency-hopping multiple-access (FHMA) network is suggested in this paper. In theory, the performances of both the packet error and the throughput are derived, which shows that the ratio of the packet length M to the frequency slots number q is most key parameter to determine the FHMA system performance under the condition of large user number. Computer simulation results of 3-DES FH sequences compared with those of the chaotic FH sequences are also included to support our developments.
