Utilizing spatial multiplexing and load-balancing, this proposal increases the capacity and resilience of the BFTN. The present design of the BFTN underutilizes the power of"wireless"networking of multiple transmitters and receivers to establish meshed high-bandwidth TCP/IP communications. This underutilization is a critical problem in an Anti-Access Area Denial (A2AD) or Satellite Communication (SATCOM) denied scenario. This proposal increases the capacity and resilience of the BFTN utilizing spatial multiplexing and load-balancing to maximize the effectiveness of the wireless mesh.
