摘要 A method and a device for reconfiguring communication transmission characteristics in response to a changing communication environment is provided. An environment at a communication device is characterized to determine if a transmission parameter associated with processing of a communication signal at a physical layer or a network interface layer should change based on current conditions at the communication device. If a need is identified, a second transmission parameter is selected based on the environment monitoring. A request identifying the second transmission parameter is sent to a second communication device using an existing communication link. A response from the second communication device is received indicating acceptance or rejection of use of the second transmission parameter. If the response indicates acceptance of use of the second transmission parameter, the physical layer and/or the network interface layer are reconfigured based on the selected second transmission parameter.

主权项 1. A method of reconfiguring communication transmission characteristics in response to a changing communication environment, the method comprising: receiving a communication signal from a first communication device at a second communication device, the communication signal being processed based on a first SIS/MAC transmission pair, wherein the first SIS/MAC transmission pair having a SIS parameter associated with processing of the communication signal by a physical layer implemented at the second communication device and a MAC parameter associated with processing of the communication signal at a network interface layer implemented at the second communication device, wherein the first SIS/MAC pair is selected using a world model, the world model including world model data for a local environment, the world model data including a source emitter schedule, the source emitter schedule including predictive information on source emitter operation, the predictive information including peace time and war time operational profiles; sensing a local environment at the second communication device to obtain environment characterization data, the environment characterization data including a location; identifying if there is a need to change the first SIS/MAC pair; if a need is identified, selecting a second transmission SIS/MAC pair different from the first SIS/MAC pair based on the environment characterization data, wherein the selecting uses a solution space including a channel selection dimension, a latitude dimension, a longitude dimension, an altitude dimension and a time dimension, the time dimension being used to select frequency and modulation schemes based upon the source emitter schedule; and sending a request to the first communication device from the second communication device, wherein the request includes an indication of the selected second SIS/MAC pair.
