Abstract:
1. A method of correcting errors in a communication system, the method comprising: creating an encoded signal from a source signal using a forward error correction technique; splitting the encoded signal into a plurality of units; transmitting a first unit of the plurality of units at a transmitter to a receiver through a first route, wherein the first route includes transmitting from a gateway to an access point with a designation to transmit the first unit to a first node, wherein the gateway selects the access point based on a message from the first node, wherein the message from the first node is received at a first time based in part on a slot start time and a first random timing offset, and wherein the message from the first node is received while at least a portion of a second signal is received from a second node at a second time based in part on the slot start time and a second random timing offset; and transmitting a second unit of the plurality of units at the transmitter to the receiver through a second route.
