Abstract
Disclosed are a self-forming ad-hoc network architecture and triplet-based radio waveform for communicating via the network architecture. The self-forming ad-hoc network preferably has a plurality of network nodes including a point-of-presence node, one or more relay nodes that aggregate data (triplet) traffic, one or more sensor nodes that send and receive data from relay nodes, and one or more handheld nodes that send and receive data to and from relay nodes and communicate data between themselves. The communication waveform is defined by orthogonal triplets having multiple time slots, multiple frequency channels, and multiple hop sequences in a channel, that is used to communicate between the network nodes.
