Description

To enable redundant transmission through hostile RF environments and expansion of Beyond Line of Sight (BLOS) bandwidth capacity requirements where the needed aggregate total exceeds the user?s original channel allocation or the transport medium?s capability, a Fragmented Spectrum Efficiency Manager (FSEM) must be developed that can effectively separate the user?s wideband signal into multiple fragments, insert minimally sufficient overhead so that the fragments are identifiable at the receiver with tags that allow proper sequencing and buffering, and then perform the signal reconstruction with minimal latency. Insertion of this technology into current systems without changes to extant security systems and encryption devices is a must.
