    摘要: A highly fault tolerant method of radio communication of information in the form of a message packet employs a distributed network of transmitter/receivers `transceivers` each having a unique identification ("ID") number. An initiating transceiver creates a message packet having the ID of a transceiver intended to receive the message packet. It then broadcasts the message packet to transceivers within its transmission range. Each transceiver which receives the message packet checks to see if there are errors and sends an acknowledgement if no errors. The transceivers determine valid message packets by determining if the message has not expired, if it has not been seen before and there were no errors in the received message packet. The transceiver also determines if the transceiver ID in the message packet match its own transceiver ID, and if it does, is the message has been successfully transmitted to its intended transceiver. If the message packet is valid and the transceiver IDs do not match, the transceiver broadcasts the message to other local transceivers until a predetermined number of acknowledgements are received, or until the message expires. The transceivers which receive the message packet repeat the process.

    摘要: A countermeasure to a partial-band follower jammer for frequency hopping spread spectrum communication systems employs an M-ary orthogonal frequency shift keyed (FSK) signaling system having q frequency channels available for hopping. During each signaling interval, the transmitter and receiver operate in either a conventional or unconventional mode. The conventional mode is selected by the transmitter and the receiver with a pseudorandom probability p.sub.c. In this mode, the transmitter transmits one of r tones within the corresponding hop (i.e., within one of q channels), and log.sub.2 r information bits are conveyed, while the receiver comprises a dehopper followed by noncoherent matched filters. The unconventional mode is selected with probability 1-p.sub.c. In this mode, the transmitter randomly chooses one of the r tones and transmits it in one of r channels within each hop, where the r channels are selected pseudorandomly. In the unconventional mode, log.sub.2 r information bits are transmitted and the receiver comprises a bank of r radiometers.

    摘要: The present invention provides a novel Geometric Harmonic Modulation (GHM) method. The GHM method functions in two modes, a preamble mode and a traffic mode. During the preamble mode, n+1 frequencies are each offset by a predetermined phase in a transmit unit and passed through a channel to a receive unit. The set of phases is used as the spreading code in the transmit unit, and also acts as an `address` of intended receive units. The receive unit monitors preamble signals to determine the phases. When it recognizes a set of phases, or `address`, which pertains to itself, the receive unit stores the phases and uses these phases to despread and decode the appended message. After the preamble mode is finished, the GHM modulator enters the traffic mode and requests the message to be transmitted from the message source. A traffic carrier waveform is created by multiplying tones, each having its specific phase. An analog or binary message is encoded by modulating the traffic carder waveform. The receive unit detects a preamble carrier and recovers the particular preamble phases to be used as the despreading `key`. The receive unit then employs the phases in despreading the received signal to recover the transmitted binary message.

    摘要: Characteristics of the radio channel are used to establish key sequences for use in encrypting communicated information. These characteristics are the short-term reciprocity and rapid spatial decorrelation of phase of the radio channel. The keys can be established with computations equivalent to a bounded distance decoding procedure, and the decoder used to establish a key may be used for processing the subsequent data transmission. Compared to classical and public-key systems, an alternative mechanism for establishing and sharing key sequences that depends on a physical process is provided in which each party need not generate a pseudorandom quantity because the necessary randomness is provided by the temporal and spatial non-stationarity of the communication channel itself. By using a channel decoder, the probability of two users establishing the same secret key is substantially unity, and the probability of an eavesdropper establishing the same key is substantially zero. Also, the number of possible keys is large enough that finding the correct one by exhaustive search is impractical.

    摘要: A spatial synchronization method for an optical communications system includes the step of transmitting from a transmit aperture a pyramidal synchronizing profile so as to sequentially spatially register a user identification speckle pattern at a receive aperture. The iterative patterns in the pyramidal synchronizing profile detected by the receive array are processed and correlated with a library of respective user pyramidal synchronizing profiles so as to match and register the speckle pattern for a particular user. Registration of the user speckle pattern provides an offset value representing the spatial relation of a reference point of the user's pattern to a corresponding reference point of the receive aperture, which offset information is applied to a receive pattern processor so that the receive aperture is aligned with the transmitted speckle patterns.

    摘要: A set of phases defining an `address` and a `spreading key` is selected. These are employed in determining a preamble waveform and a traffic waveform. The preamble carrier waveform is a sum of a set of tones each offset by its phase, whereas the traffic carrier waveform is the product of these same offset tones. The tones have frequencies which are geometrically increasing multiples of a fundamental frequency. The phases and magnitudes of the preamble and traffic carrier waveforms are determined and prestored in a transmit and receive unit storage device. An inverse discrete Fourier Transform unit (IDFT) in the transmit unit receives the phase preamble offsets and magnitudes from the storage unit and creates a preamble carrier signal transmitted to the receive unit which determines if the phases match those which it is to listen to. If not, the following message is ignored; if they are, the following message is despread and decoded. IDFT creates a traffic carrier waveform from the traffic phases and magnitudes. Binary information is encoded in the carrier, processed and transmitted to the receive unit. A discrete Fourier Transform unit converts the received signal into phases and magnitudes. A dot product unit determines a dot product of the phase and magnitudes of the received signal and the traffic carrier waveform over a number of frequencies. A decision unit determines a binary message from the dot product.

    摘要: A tracking system for railcars is configured as a dynamic local area network having a master tracking unit and a plurality of slave tracking units, each tracking unit being affixed to a separate railcar. To improve reliability of communications between railcars, the distance from a master unit to a slave unit is estimated by comparing phase of a transmitted signal with that of the transmitted signal returned by another tracking unit in the network. Optionally, a determination is made as to whether the slave unit is "ahead" of or "behind" the master unit. Communication path loss between the master and slave units due to frequency selective fading may also be determined. A spectrum survey determines quality of the channel as to its capacity for passing data from the slave unit to the master unit.
