ABSTRACT:
Messages are transmitted on pairs of frequencies that are orthogonal, that is the frequencies have no least common denominator (are prime to each other). A message is transmitted on the first of the pair of frequencies and, simultaneously, its complement is transmitted on the second of said pair of frequencies. The message is then retransmitted on another pair of orthogonal frequencies. In the second transmission, the message is remapped, such that, adjacent bits in the first transmission are not adjacent in the second transmission and the same bit in the first transmission and the second transmission are not spaced 1/120th of a second apart. Information is collected on the data error rates at each receiver. This information is periodically transmitted to a central frequency controller which collects this error information and determines the error rates on the frequencies being used. A hill-climbing technique is used to choose pairs of frequencies having the lowest current data error rates. The frequency controller transmits the identity of these frequencies to the various transceivers in each message. The transceivers comprise a frequency controlled carrier frequency generator, appropriate data keying for the carrier, a pair of digital state machines, each having a frequency controlled filter connected thereto, appropriate microprocessors for control and broad band coupling networks for coupling the transceiver to a communications channel, which may be an AC power line, a private line, the floor loop of an automatic guided vehicle system, or the like.
