Editing Stressed environment

{{Short description|Environment causing disruption of radio waves}}

In [[radio]] communications, a '''stressed environment''' is an environment that is under the influence of extrinsic factors that degrade [[communication]]s integrity, such as when (a) the beginning communications [[Transmission medium|medium]] is disturbed by natural or man-made events (such as an intentional nuclear burst), (b) the received [[signal]] is degraded by natural or man-made [[Interference (communication)|interference]] (such as jamming signals or [[co-channel interference]]), (c) an interfering signal can reconfigure the [[telecommunications network|network]], and/or (d) an adversary threatens successful communications, in which case radio signals may be encrypted in order to deny the adversary an intelligible [[message]], [[traffic]] flow [[information]], network information, or [[automatic link establishment]] (ALE) control information.
