Here's an analysis of the patent citations, focusing on those that potentially anticipate claims under 35 U.S.C. § 102. Anticipation under § 102 means that every element of a claim is found, either expressly or inherently described, in a single prior art reference.

Patent Citations:

  1. US6104712A

    • Full Citation: US6104712A, Robert; Bruno G., "Wireless communication network including plural migratory access nodes"
    • Publication Date: 2000-08-15
    • Priority Date: 1999-02-22
    • Brief Description: This patent describes a wireless communication network that includes multiple migratory access nodes. It focuses on aspects of network infrastructure and mobility rather than low-latency messaging via ionospheric propagation.
    • Potential Anticipation (35 U.S.C. § 102): Unlikely to anticipate the core claims of US10959123 (Claims 1, 8, 16) as it does not appear to disclose the specific combination of encoding for message latency, determining transmission parameters based on both message latency and predefined channel bandwidth, and ionospheric HF transmission for low latency, particularly in the context of financial transactions. Its focus on migratory access nodes suggests a different technical problem and solution space.

  2. US20020184645A1

    • Full Citation: US20020184645A1, Austin Phillip G., "Measurement of quality of service"

    • Priority Date: 2001-05-30
    • Brief Description: This application relates to the measurement of quality of service (QoS) in communication networks. While QoS might involve latency considerations, the patent focuses on measurement and reporting rather than active reduction of latency through specific transmission parameter determination and message encoding for ionospheric communication in the HF band.
    • Potential Anticipation (35 U.S.C. § 102): Unlikely to anticipate. While "message latency" is a component of QoS, this reference does not appear to teach the specific methods of encoding messages for low latency in HF ionospheric transmission, nor the determination of transmission parameters (carrier frequency, modulation type, power) based on both message latency and a predefined channel bandwidth as claimed in US10959123.

  3. US20020198657A1

  6. US20030126545A1

    • Full Citation: US20030126545A1, Tan Alfred Keng Tiong, "Non-linear code-division multiple access technology with improved detection algorithms and error correction coding"
    • Publication Date: 2003-07-03
    • Priority Date: 2001-10-05
    • Brief Description: This patent application relates to non-linear code-division multiple access (CDMA) technology, focusing on detection algorithms and error correction coding. While it deals with wireless communication and coding, it emphasizes error correction, which US10959123 explicitly minimizes or omits for latency reduction.
    • Potential Anticipation (35 U.S.C. § 102): Unlikely to anticipate the core claims. While it involves encoding and wireless communication, its focus on error correction coding directly contrasts with US10959123's approach of encoding messages with fewer bits, often without error correction, to reduce message latency (Claim 6, Description).

  7. US20050283715A1

    • Full Citation: US20050283715A1, Arak Sutivong, "Robust erasure detection and erasure-rate-based closed loop power control"

    • Priority Date: 2005-09-23
    • Brief Description: This application describes techniques for adaptive data rate communication over fading dispersive channels. It focuses on adapting data rates to channel conditions, which may indirectly influence latency, but it doesn't describe the specific low-latency encoding, parameter determination for ionospheric HF, or financial transaction context of US10959123.
    • Potential Anticipation (35 U.S.C. § 102): Unlikely to anticipate. While it discusses adaptive data rates (a form of transmission parameter), it lacks the explicit teaching of encoding a particular value in a format derived to effect message latency, determining parameters based on both message latency and a predefined channel bandwidth, and the use of the ionospheric HF band for low-latency financial transactions.

  9. US20080002882A1

  23. US9215726B1

    • Full Citation: US9215726B1, Spectranet, Inc., "Low latency wireless messaging"
    • Publication Date: 2015-12-15
    • Priority Date: 2012-07-24
    • Brief Description: This patent is a direct parent (continuation) of US10959123, sharing the same priority date and title. It describes core aspects of the low latency wireless messaging technology, including encoding messages for low latency, determining transmission parameters based on message latency and predefined channel bandwidth, and transmitting in the HF band via the ionosphere, particularly for financial transactions.
    • Potential Anticipation (35 U.S.C. § 102): This patent is a continuation of US9215726B1. As such, it is not considered prior art against itself in the anticipation sense for the common subject matter. However, any distinct subject matter claimed in US10959123 that is not present in US9215726B1 (and not entitled to its priority date) could potentially be anticipated by US9215726B1 if it were by a different inventor or lacked common ownership. Given they share the same priority date and are part of the same patent family, it's highly unlikely to be anticipatory under § 102. It serves as essential background for understanding the evolution of the claimed invention.

  24. US9578540B1

    • Full Citation: US9578540B1, Spectranet, Inc., "Low latency wireless messaging"
    • Publication Date: 2017-02-21
    • Priority Date: 2012-07-24
    • Brief Description: This patent is also a direct parent (continuation) of US10959123, sharing the same priority date and title. It further elaborates on the low latency wireless messaging technology.
    • Potential Anticipation (35 U.S.C. § 102): Similar to US9215726B1, this patent is a continuation and thus not considered prior art against itself for common subject matter. It is part of the same patent family and shares the same priority date, making anticipation under § 102 unlikely. It provides further context for the invention.

Most Relevant Prior Art:

Based on the analysis, the patents US9215726B1 and US9578540B1 are the most relevant as they are direct parent applications (continuations) of US10959123 and share the same priority date. They describe the same underlying inventive concept of low latency wireless messaging via ionospheric HF transmission. However, as continuation patents, they would typically not be used to anticipate the claims of US10959123 under 35 U.S.C. § 102, as the later patent claims subject matter that is disclosed in the earlier applications and benefits from their priority date. They represent the progression of the same invention through the patent system.

Among the other cited patents, none appear to directly anticipate the specific combination of features central to US10959123's independent claims (Claims 1, 8, and 16):

  • Encoding a particular value into a format derived to effect message latency, where the value is known a priori to the remote receiving device as corresponding to a particular action (e.g., financial transaction).
  • Determining transmission parameters (carrier frequency, modulation type, transmission power, sampling rate, buffer size) based on both message latency and a predefined channel bandwidth.
  • Transmitting the encoded message in the ionospheric High Frequency (HF) band.

Many of the other cited references deal with general wireless communication, QoS measurement, error correction (which is often counter to the low-latency approach of US10959123), or entirely unrelated technical fields. Therefore, none of them stand out as directly anticipatory under 35 U.S.C. § 102 for the unique combination of elements claimed in US10959123.
