    摘要: A system may include a mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) including nodes. The nodes may include beacon-based clusterhead (BB-CH) nodes and members. Each of the nodes may be configured to transmit communication data packets and transmit beacons. Each of the nodes may have passive spatial awareness. For each of at least some of the BB-CH nodes having members, a BB-CH node may be configured to compile spatial awareness information of all members of the BB-CH node. The compiled spatial awareness information may include a BB-CH node identification for the BB-CH node, position-location information (PLI) of the BB-CH node, a quantity of the members of the BB-CH node, and a member list including member identifications. For each of the at least some of the BB-CH nodes, the BB-CH node may be configured to broadcast, via efficient flooding, some or all of the compiled spatial awareness information to every connected node.

    摘要: A communications node of a multi-node communications network is disclosed. In embodiments, the node transmits to its one-hop neighbors (e.g., via beacon signals or regular hello messages) outbound neighbor lists identifying its neighboring clusterhead and gateway nodes only. Similarly, the communications node receives inbound neighbor lists from its one-hop neighbor nodes, including identifiers and node statuses for all clusterhead and gateway nodes that are one-hop neighbors to the sending node. By comparing the received inbound neighbor lists, the communications node determines whether it is on a critical path of the network, e.g., whether the multi-node communications network would be partitioned into disconnected portions without the communications node. Based on the determination, the communications node may transition its node clustering status.

    摘要: A system is disclosed for Doppler nulling configured for security. The system may include a receiver or transmitter node. The receiver or transmitter node may include a communications interface with an antenna element and a controller. The controller may include one or more processors and have information of own node velocity and own node orientation relative to a common reference frame. The receiver or transmitter node may be time synchronized to apply Doppler corrections to signals, the Doppler corrections associated with the receiver or transmitter node's own motions relative to the common reference frame, the Doppler corrections applied using Doppler null steering along Null directions based on a protocol. The protocol may include a protocol modulation, such as a modulation of the signals for security purposes.

    摘要: A communications node of a mobile ad hoc network (MANET) or like multi-node network may receive a preamble and/or header portion associated with a resource allocation message (e.g., as opposed to the full message) transmitted by another network node in motion relative to the receiving node. The receiving node determines a receiver-side Doppler nulling direction (e.g., for offsetting Doppler shift associated with the motion of the transmitting node relative to the receiving node) by adjusting a receiving frequency of the preamble and/or header portion through one or more nulling frequencies, each nulling frequency associated with a nulling direction for offsetting Doppler shift due to relative motion in that direction. Based on the determination of a receiver-side Doppler nulling frequency, the receiving node can determine a velocity and direction of the relative motion between the receiving and transmitting nodes.
