Ultra-wideband communication systems and methods
First Claim
1. A method of ultra-wideband communication, the method comprising the steps of:
- generating an ultra-wideband communication channel comprising a radio frequency band segmented into a plurality of non-overlapping sub-channels;
dividing a single serial message into a plurality of parallel messages;
encoding each of the plurality of parallel messages onto at least some of the plurality of sub-channels; and
transmitting the plurality of parallel messages over the ultra-wideband communication channel.

Abstract
Systems and methods of ultra-wideband communication are provided. In one ultra-wideband communication method, a communication channel is divided into a plurality of non-overlapping sub-channels by dividing a single serial message intended for an ultra-wideband communication device into a plurality of parallel messages. Each of the plurality of parallel messages are then encoded onto at least some of the plurality of sub-channels, and then transmitted. This Abstract is provided for the sole purpose of complying with the Abstract requirement rules that allow a reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the disclosure contained herein. This Abstract is submitted with the explicit understanding that it will not be used to interpret or to limit the scope or the meaning of the claims.

15. A method for generating a plurality of synchronization codes for use in an ultra-wideband communication system, the method comprising the steps of:
-
selecting a synchronization code sequence;
generating a first synchronization code by repeating the synchronization code sequence a number of times equal to a reuse factor; and
generating subsequent synchronization codes by shifting the first synchronization code in frequency. - View Dependent Claims (16)

17. An ultra-wideband communication system, comprising:
a plurality of base stations configured to communicate with a plurality of ultra-wideband communication devices over a common communication channel, with each base station configured to use a unique synchronization code relative to other adjacent base stations when communicating with the plurality of ultra-wideband communication devices over the common communication channel, with the common communication channel comprising a radio frequency bandwidth that is divided into a plurality of non-overlapping sub-channels. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19)
