Ultra-Wideband Communication Protocol
First Claim
1. A ultra-wideband communication method, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing an ultra-wideband device, the ultra-wideband device structured to operate at a first chip rate;
receiving a plurality of ultra-wideband pulses at a second chip rate; and
interpolating the received second chip rate pulses to the first chip rate.

Abstract
A communication protocol for ultra-wideband communications is provided. The present invention provides compatibility and interoperability between ultra-wideband communications devices within various types of networks. In one embodiment, combined, or interleaved data frames having both high and low data transfer rate capability are provided. The low data transfer rate may be used for initial discovery of the type of network that is being accessed, and the high data transfer rate may be used to quickly transfer data within networks that have a high data transfer rate capability. 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.
