Enabling TCP/IP communications over high frequency communication links
Alvin DMello · Queensland University of Technology · 2024
High frequency (HF) communications have been the only wireless communication medium for beyond line of sight communication in a satellite denied environment. Defence and Emergency Disaster Recovery organisations have been the primary users of HF for decades. Due to its unreliable nature, HF has been primarily used for voice and low speed basic data. This research enables the most widely used IP based protocol, TCP/IP, over HF networks enhancing collaboration and flexibility in operations utilising HF systems. It examines the limitations of IP-based communications in HF channels and proposes an improved HF-TCP model.
