The present invention is a universal stack analyzer which is configured for collecting data at (ex.&#x2014;from) all layers of a stack and filtering the collected data to isolate selected data included in the collected data. The selected data is selected via user inputs provided to a user interface of the universal stack analyzer and filtering of the collected data to isolate the selected data from the collected data is performed based upon filters generated in response to the received user inputs. The selected data is then displayed via a graphical viewer of the stack analyzer in a user-friendly graphical format. The universal stack analyzer is waveform-agnostic.

The present example provides a method of providing a Transmit ID within an ad hoc wireless communications network, and use of the transmit ID to provide methods to select a node's transmit pattern (Transmit Patterns), to inform a node receiver that a packet is incoming that is to be decoded (Receive Packet Acquisition), to tell a node receiver how to efficiently retrieve pulses from multiple packets simultaneously (Efficient Receive Processing), and how to disburse network transmissions throughout network time (Network Traffic Smoothing). The present example may also provide for Network Management of the Transmit IDs for use in network bandwidth reduction and maintenance of the Transmit IDs within the Network.
