High speed low-cost ways to get messages from a sender to a receiver when some channels linking them become inoperative

This AFOSR SBIR Phase I Project produced explicitly the hyperfast pool/split/restitute algorithms of the Bloom technique. These algorithms, once they obtain hardware implementation, will be used as follows. They will make it possible for a sender to get all desired digital information to a receiver by coding it for transmission over several parallel channels in such a way that decoding will recover everything sent even when up to a predetermined number of channels fail. This project developed a set of design principles for hardware implementation of such p/s/r processes by means of existing microprocessors of sizes 4, 8 and 16 bits.
