Claim Text:
1. A method for ad-hoc beyond line of sight radio frequency communication, comprising: receiving, by a first communication node associated with a first system, a first radio frequency signal indicative of at least one of communication node identification data, communication node position data, communication node type data, frequency data, periodic sounding data, or solar data; generating a first connectivity matrix of communication nodes available to the first system, each communication node in the first connectivity matrix in direct radio frequency communication with the first communication node via the first radio frequency signal, the generating via an advanced automatic link establishment module; storing the first connectivity matrix in a memory associated with the first system; querying a second system associated with a second communication node via the advanced automatic link establishment module, the second communication node being one of the communication nodes in the first connectivity matrix, the querying to obtain a second connectivity matrix of communication nodes 1) available to the second system via a second radio frequency signal, 2) generated by the second system, and 3) stored by the second system; updating the first connectivity matrix based on the obtained second connectivity matrix; availing the first connectivity matrix to the second system; determining a path for bi-directional communication between the first communication node and a third communication node, the third communication node being one of the communication nodes in the second connectivity matrix; bi-directionally communicating with the third communication node via the path, the path including the first radio frequency signal between the first communication node and the second communication node and relayed by the second communication node to the third communication node via the second signal; periodically updating the first connectivity matrix via the advanced automatic link establishment module; and periodically querying the second communication node for an updated second connectivity matrix via the advanced automatic link establishment module.
