Enhanced Wideband High Frequency (HF) data transmission with adaptive interference avoidance

Abstract

Methods, devices, and system for Enhanced Wideband HF data transmission with adaptive interference avoidance and other improvements. Several embodiments describe a mesh network comprising a plurality of transmitting and receiving nodes in a congested band. The network senses the interference spectrum occupancies at a plurality of receiver nodes and synthesizes transmit waveforms at the transmit nodes so that the spectra of the transmit signals fit into the gaps of the interference spectra at the receiver nodes. The waveform is based on FDM, including OFDM, with adaptive tone suppression at the transmitter. The spectrum occupancy information at each node is continually shared in the background among all nodes using a low data rate, Fountain code with erasure sensing at the receivers, which guarantees robust delivery.
