Abstract: A mobile communication system which consists of a plurality of MANETs and nodes, which comprises a transceiver at each node. Each transceiver is a combination of a hopping transmitter operating according to a predetermined hopping sequence and rate and a wideband reference receiver, that can simultaneously receive at once, the whole operating band assigned to the system. Each transceiver further includes a circuitry for reallocating simultaneously receiving channels, dynamically spread over a wideband frequency range and circuitry for determining transmission hopping patterns to use the least possible number of frequencies according to the active population status of nodes that belong to the plurality of MANETs.

Abstract: A method of coordinating communication among three stations (A, B, C) on networks includes: (a) selecting one membership network for each station; (b) synchronizing the stations to a superframe (20) including a transmission slot (22), and a relay slot (26); (c) determining, for each station, which other station is a near neighbor and which other station is a far neighbor; and (d) broadcasting a message for the stations having a far neighbor sharing one of the membership networks by: (i) designating a near neighbor sharing the network with each broadcasting station and the far neighbor, as a relay station, (ii) transmitting the message on the shared network during each transmission slot, by the broadcasting station, (iii) receiving the message during one of the transmission slots, by the relay station, and (iv) transmitting the message on the shared network during each relay slot, by the relay station.
