Abstract
A multi node network communications protocol which provides high information throughput at high efficiency, while also maximizing low probability of detection and interception characteristics by optimizing use of transmitting power and other characteristics including but not limited to modulation method, FEC rate and spread spectrum processing gain. The network is optimized by dividing into sub-networks and optimizing the sub-networks to consider local conditions, thus optimizing the overall network to a level of efficiency not possible from a central control point. A protocol which periodically adapts to changing conditions and allows silent entry and exit of nodes as well as providing locations of all nodes within the network.
