Systems and methods to recover bandwidth in a communication system
First Claim
1. A method of ultra-wideband communication, the method comprising the steps of:
- assigning a portion of a plurality of non-overlapping sub-channels to a first ultra-wideband communication device;
receiving interference information from the first ultra-wideband communication device;
reducing the portion of non-overlapping sub-channels assigned to the ultra-wideband communication device in response to the interference information, thereby creating a group of available non-overlapping sub-channels; and
assigning the group of available non-overlapping sub-channels to a second ultra-wideband communication device, wherein the ultra-wideband communication device transmits a plurality of discrete electromagnetic pulses over at least one of the non-overlapping sub-channels, with each pulse occupying more than 500 megahertz of a radio frequency spectrum.

Abstract
Systems and methods of ultra-wideband communication are provided. In one ultra-wideband communication system, a portion of a plurality of non-overlapping communication sub-channels are assigned to a first ultra-wideband communication device by a base station. Communication interference information is obtained by the first device, and then transmitted to and received by the base station. The base station then reduces the portion of non-overlapping sub-channels assigned to the first ultra-wideband communication device in response to the interference information, thereby creating a group of available non-overlapping sub-channels, which are assigned to a second ultra-wideband communication device. 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.

9. An ultra-wideband communication system, comprising:
-
an ultra-wideband communication channel comprising a radio frequency band segmented into a plurality of non-overlapping sub-channels; a first communication cell including a first base station, the first base station configured to communicate with a first ultra-wideband communication device in the first communication cell over the ultra-wideband communication channel; and a second communication cell that is adjacent to the first communication cell and includes a second base station, the second base station configured to also communicate with the first ultra-wideband communication device over the ultra-wideband communication channel, wherein the first ultra-wideband communication device transmits a plurality of discrete electromagnetic pulses over at least one of the non-overlapping sub-channels, with each pulse occupying more than 500 megahertz of a radio frequency spectrum. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
