WIRELESS TRANSMISSION AND RECEPTION METHOD AND APPARATUS
First Claim
1. A wireless transmission and reception method for the transmission of sequences of signals between a first transceiver device and at least a second transceiver device, wherein said first transceiver device and second transceiver device are disposed outside a reciprocal direct radio-communication range, comprising a distribution step of a plurality of intermediate transceiver devices, disposed in a non-uniform manner between said first transceiver device and second transceiver device so as to form a linear transceiver chain, and a step of direct transmission, wherein a first sequence of signals is transmitted from the first transceiver device toward the second transceiver device at regular time intervals, temporally consecutive, able to define a synchronous times base, in which each signal of said first sequence is re-transmitted from an intermediate device to an intermediate device immediately adjacent and successive along the path toward the second transceiver device, the method comprising a step of indirect transmission, in which a second sequence of signals is transmitted from the second transceiver device toward the first transceiver device, wherein each signal of said second sequence is transmitted from an intermediate device to an intermediate device immediately adjacent and successive along the path toward said first transceiver device, said signals of said second sequence being transmitted at predetermined regular time intervals defined by said times base in such a manner that each intermediate device receives at most a single signal of said first or second sequence in order to avoid collisions.

Abstract
A wireless transmission and reception method for the transmission of sequences of signals between a first transceiver device and at least a second transceiver device, wherein the first transceiver device and second transceiver device are disposed outside a reciprocal direct radio-communication range. The method comprises a distribution step of a plurality of intermediate transceiver devices, disposed in a non-uniform manner between the first transceiver device and second transceiver devices as to form a linear transceiver chain. The method comprises a step of direct transmission, wherein a first sequence of signals is transmitted from the first transceiver device toward the second transceiver device at regular time intervals, temporally consecutive, able to define a synchronous times base in which each signal of the first sequence is re-transmitted from an intermediate device to an intermediate device immediately adjacent and successive along the path toward the second transceiver device. The method comprises a step of indirect transmission, in which a second sequence of signals is transmitted from the second transceiver device toward the first transceiver device, wherein each signal of the second sequence is transmitted from an intermediate device to an intermediate device immediately adjacent and successive along the path toward the first transceiver device. The signals of the second sequence are transmitted at predetermined regular time intervals defined by the times base in such a manner that each intermediate device receives at most a single signal of the first or second sequence in order to avoid collisions.
