Frequency-hopping radio communication network

摘要

A system for effecting radio communication over a given range of frequency channels among a plurality of participating local stations, includes: a variably settable channel transmission unit at each such participating local station; and a controller or central station having an interference array processor for receiving data characterizing the system and each such participating local station for assigning datum channels (frequencies) to each such participating station with prescribed channel spacing and what is termed a "book-page generator" for compiling data in successive book pages of initial and subsequent channel assignments for stations, with maintenance of such datum channel spacing. Further data compilations are made from the book-page generator in what are termed "station pages", comprising frequency shift instructions specific to the stations. Since a station page is derived from plural book pages, any station may be compromised without revelation of the contents of the book pages.
