Abstract
An ultra wide band communication network is provided. One embodiment ultra wide band network includes an industry standard transceiver and an ultra wide band transceiver communicating with the industry standard transceiver, with both transceivers communicating using at least one Time Division Multiple Access frame. Another embodiment network comprises an industry standard transceiver and an ultra wide band transceiver, wherein one transceiver is structured and configured to manage data transmission between all of the transceivers, with each of the transceivers having a Medium Access Control Unit including a Physical layer interface. 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.
