Long-Range Communication Scheme Based on Majority Combing

Abstract

HF communication is a very important tactical communication method, which can achieve thousand-miles away communication through the ionosphere reflections without any infrastructure support. But HF communication quality is not stable for the ionosphere disturbance, multipath fading and propagation loss. In this paper, we propose a new long-range communication scheme based on majority combing. In the scheme, we use multi-point receiving and multi-copying transmission, which can significantly improve the communication success rate by utilizing the land-sites’ space diversity and the multi-packet’s time diversity.
