First Claim
1. A cognitive communication hub comprising:
- a. A plurality of physical interfaces integrated to make a unified interface;
b. An intelligent cognitive software capable of;
i. creating a self-forming and self-healing network based on a plurality of layers consisting of a high frequency layer, a very small aperture terminal layer, a WiFi layer, very high frequency layer, dialup layer, global system for mobile communications layer and an ethernet layer;
ii. allowing multi-hopped connections and selection of physical medium based on the Quality of Service and Class of Service requirements;
iii. operating the network without specifying a static setting other than deployment settings;
iv. re-routing in case of loss of a link;
v. implementing medium access layers;
vi. developing routing across multiple physical networks in a three-dimensional space, where multiple networks are different layers in third dimension and physical devices are geographically placed in x-y planes.c. A routing protocol that is capable of;
i. using multiple hybrid links for making a connection;
ii. providing bandwidth aggregation by forming multiple parallel data paths between source and destination and using all the links in parallel for the transfer of information;

Abstract
The present invention relates to the development of a device, Cognitive Communication Hub (CCH) that combines multiple and hybrid physical layers to collaborate and establish a unified network. The heterogeneous network so formed supports a whole range of bandwidth and spectrum while providing quality of service and class of service. The routing algorithm of the device is designed to explore the best route that can optimally use hybrid networking technologies to make a connection. The device has multiple interfaces and acts in an adhoc fashion. It forms multiple parallel data paths between source and destination and hence provides fault tolerance as a break down in one path does not disconnect end to end connection.
