Abstract

A communications protocol that is designed for transmission of data in networks that are subjected to harsh conditions is described herein. A network includes a plurality of devices, where the devices comprise respective nodes. The nodes are in communication with one another by way of a central network hub. The protocol causes the nodes to transmit data over a network bus at different data rates depending upon whether the nodes are operating normally or an arbitration procedure has been invoked.

Localized radio frequency communication using asynchronous transfer mode protocol

Patent Witzke, Edward L [Edgewood, NM]; Robertson, Perry J [Albuquerque, NM]; Pierson, Lyndon G [Albuquerque, NM]

A localized wireless communication system for communication between a plurality of circuit boards, and between electronic components on the circuit boards. Transceivers are located on each circuit board and electronic component. The transceivers communicate with one another over spread spectrum radio frequencies. An asynchronous transfer mode protocol controls communication flow with asynchronous transfer mode switches located on the circuit boards.

Transmit-reference methods in software defined radio platforms for communication in harsh propagation environments and systems thereof

Patent Dowla, Farid; Nekoogar, Faranak

A method for adaptive Radio Frequency (RF) jamming according to one embodiment includes dynamically monitoring a RF spectrum; detecting any undesired signals in real time from the RF spectrum; and sending a directional countermeasure signal to jam the undesired signals. A method for adaptive Radio Frequency (RF) communications according to another embodiment includes transmitting a data pulse in a RF spectrum; and transmitting a reference pulse separated by a predetermined period of time from the data pulse; wherein the data pulse is modulated with data, wherein the reference pulse is unmodulated.

Communication device, spread-spectrum receiver, and related method using normalized matched filter for improving signal-to-noise ratio in harsh environments

Patent Moradi, Hussein; Driggs, Jonathan D.; Majid, Arslan J.; ...

A communication device, a method of operating a communication device, and a spread-spectrum receiver are disclosed. The method includes receiving an incoming RF signal, demodulating the incoming RF signal to generate a baseband signal, filtering the baseband signal with a normalized matched filter having filter characteristics matched to a pulse-shaping filter of the transmitter that generated the incoming RF signal, and extracting a received signal from a normalized output generated by the normalized matched filter. As a result, interferences and noise from harsh environments may be suppressed.
