1. A method for establishing channel vector length in communications between nodes in an ad-hoc communications network, said network including a plurality of nodes being adapted to transmit and receive signals to and from other nodes in said network, the method comprising:

  • estimating a channel vector length of a message being communicated via a first data channel;

    communicating said estimated channel vector length to at least one node of said plurality;

    controlling said at least one node to communicate said estimated channel vector length to a first group of nodes of said plurality;

    controlling said at least one node to monitor said data channel and calculate an actual channel vector length based on said monitored data channel; and

    controlling said at least one node to communicate said actual channel vector length to said first group of nodes of said plurality.
