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.

You might want to start here - https://www.ampr.org  (All about Amateur Radio Digital Communications).  AMPRnet, net 44, is allocated to ham radio IP networking.  There's a wiki and discussion list that might be a good start.

You might also want to check out AX.25 - a data link layer used by the Amateur Radio community, and FX.25, which adds forward error correction.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FX.25_Forward_Error_Correction 

Another good reference: http://www.tapr.org/pr_links.html
