Abstract
A high-frequency beyond line of sight ad-hoc communication system is disclosed. In embodiments, the system includes an originating node. The originating node is configured to transmit a transmission. In, the system includes a destination node. The destination node is configured to receive the transmission using one or more antennas. In, the system includes one or more relay nodes, which are configured to relay the transmission from the operating mode to the destination mode in a time diverse manner. The relay nodes further comprise a controller, configured to facilitate high-frequency beyond line of sight communication between the originating node and the destination node, wherein the transmission is carried in accordance with a TDMA based waveform that supports frames and time slots. In embodiments, the one or more relay nodes are further configured to relay the transmission from the originating mode to the destination mode in a frequency diverse manner.
