Description: This dissertation contributes a jam-resistant communications protocol for use in
mobile ad-hoc network (MANET). Speci c focus is given to the network layer rout-
g of packets within a MANET. A MANET is a self-organizing multi-hop wireless
twork that is comprised of many mobile hosts communicating wirelessly. As a result
their mobility and dependence on wireless communications, network layer routing
especially prone to errors. An algorithm has been developed using the concept concurrent codes to allow for jam-resistant wireless communications without a pre-
shared secret. The algorithm allows for the recovery of messages even in the presence
of signi cant noise. Experimental results show that a cross-layer protocol designed
to take advantage of this property allows for more e ective communications in noisy
environments such as disaster sites where current network protocols experience signif-
icant packet loss rates. Ultimately, this research presents a communications protocol
