Yeah, as Charlie said, this is a large subject -- I suspect that you'll be much better off looking at some of the existing packet radio stuff, like: http://wb8nut.com/digital/ http://hfradio.org.uk/html/digital_modes.html http://www.hamuniverse.com/hfdigitalmodessoftware.html https://www.amazon.com/Amateur-Packet-Protocol-Version-October/dp/0872590119/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1519597417&sr=8-11&keywords=ham+packet (this is the book referred to by RFC1226, one of the shortest RFCs ever :-)) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N9AZR2Y/ref=sspa_dk_detail_0?psc=1 and adapting it. There is a small group of IETF hams, but it isn't very active.
