Abstract:
An apparatus for communicating information from one location to another through at least a three-dimensional wavefield space having dynamic time-selective, frequency-selective and space-selective attributes using a multi-dimensional communication protocol comprising:a transmitter having a terminal configured to receive a message corresponding to first information and to encode a plurality of signals associated with the message;a first plurality of antennas coupled to the transmitter and configured to transmit the plurality of signals associated with the message through the wavefield space having dynamic time-selective, frequency-selective and space-selective attributes;a second plurality of antennas configured to receive the plurality of signals associated with the message through the wavefield space having dynamic time-selective, frequency-selective and space-selective attributes; anda receiver coupled to the second plurality of antennas and configured to decode the plurality of signals associated with the message to reconstruct the first information, wherein the receiver decodes the plurality of signals having only incomplete advance knowledge of the time-selective, frequency-selective and space-selective attributes of the wavefield space through which the plurality of signals were transmitted and received.
