Short range RF communication for jet engine control
First Claim
1. A method for communicating a message over a radio frequency (RF) communications network having a plurality of RF channels, the method comprising the steps of:
- partitioning the message into a plurality of blocks having a predetermined order;
converting the plurality of blocks into a plurality of packets;
selecting a subset of the plurality of packets;
transmitting the selected subset of the plurality of packets over at least one of the plurality of RF channels of the RF communications network;
receiving the selected subset of the plurality of packets transmitted over the at least one of the plurality of RF channels;
estimating a quality of the at least one of the plurality of RF channels from at least the received selected subset of the plurality of packets; and
constructing an estimate of the message using at least the received selected subset of the plurality of packets and the estimated quality of the at least one of the plurality of RF channels.

Abstract
A method transmitting a message over at least one of a plurality of radio frequency (RF) channels of an RF communications network is provided. The method comprises the steps of detecting a presence of jamming pulses in the at least one of the plurality of RF channels. The characteristics of the jamming pulses in the at least one of the plurality of RF channels is determined wherein the determined characteristics define at least interstices between the jamming pulses. The message is transmitted over the at least one of the plurality of RF channels wherein the message is transmitted within the interstices of the jamming pulse determined from the step of determining characteristics of the jamming pulses.
