ABSTRACT:
A method of managing communication on an unstable error-prone channel is disclosed, having particular applicability to transceiver nodes in a high frequency radio network. The method achieves highly reliable, efficient communication through the exchange of headers within control frames in accordance with a selected suite of protocols. An orderly link establishment is achieved by the exchange of headers indicating specific link establishment states of the nodes. One node having message data to transmit to another sends a herald header, and if the data is to be accepted by the other node, it responds with a herald acknowledgment header. The herald conveys parameters of the proposed transmission to the receiving node, permitting the parameters to be varied by the transmitting node for changing channel conditions. The issuance of a herald acknowledgment depends on message priorities exchanged by the nodes, so that higher priority messages can preempt lower priority ones. The issuance of a data transfer header including a data acknowledgment informs a transmitting node of data frames that require retransmission.
