System and Method for Semiotic Digital Encoding

Abstract

A system and method for lowering probability that low data rates, high bit error rates, and susceptibility to signal degradation in communication environments during storms, solar activity, and adversarial activity is disclosed. The system and method affect communications by minimizing the amount of data / information that needs to be transmitted, partly by creating an algorithmic process / method that moves knowledge and not data and information. The system and method is based upon the realization that structured communications often possess a similar level of context that can be exploited to communicate full meaning (knowledge), even when only a small fraction of the message is transmitted to the receiver. Reducing the number of bytes transmitted significantly reduces the probability that a transmission will be affected by either naturally occurring or human supplied factors present in modern communication environments.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]Future conflicts will undoubtedly involve the need to communicate large amounts of information into, out of and within anti-access, area denial (A2AD) environments. These environments pose a special challenge for the Navy because of the large geographical areas over which they must operate and their resulting dependence on vulnerable satellite data links. High Frequency (HF) radio communication systems have long been valued for beyond line-of-sight links, but over the last few decades they have slowly been replaced with more robust communications via an expanding array of satellite networks. The saturation of the satellite communication spectrum, the selling of parts of the spectrum to commercial entities, and the ease with which these assets can be electronically jammed has caused a renewed interest in the use of the HF bands.[0002]Commercially available HF radios suffer from low data rates, high bit error rates, and susceptibility to signal degrada...

Problems solved by technology

Future conflicts will undoubtedly involve the need to communicate large amounts of information into, out of and within anti-access, area denial (A2AD) environments.

These environments pose a special challenge for the Navy because of the large geographical areas over which they must operate and their resulting dependence on vulnerable satellite data links.

Commercially available HF radios suffer from low data rates, high bit error rates, and susceptibility to signal degradation during storms and solar activity.
