1. A method for transmitting information over a first medium, comprising:
- providing a first transceiver configured for UWB communications over the first medium;
providing a second transceiver configured for UWB communications over a second medium, the second transceiver interfaced to the first transceiver;
receiving at the second transceiver an incoming UWB communication having a first type of encoding and a first type of modulation;
communicating information from the incoming UWB communication to the first transceiver;
allocating for signal transmission by the first transceiver, a plurality of frequency sub-bands of an ultra-wide band spectrum;
forming an ultra-wide band transmission from a plurality of signals, each of the signals associated with one of the plurality of frequency sub-bands, the ultra-wide band transmission including the information for transmission over the first medium; and
sending over the first medium the ultra-wide band transmission including the information, the ultra-wide transmission having, a second type of encoding and a second type of modulation, the second type of encoding different from the first type of encoding and the second type of modulation different from the first type of modulation.

Abstract
A method and device for transmitting information over a first medium include allocating for signal transmission, each of a plurality of frequency sub-bands of an ultra-wide band spectrum and sending over the first medium an ultra-wide band transmission including the information. The ultra-wide band transmission is performed by sending a signal over each of the plurality of frequency sub-bands. Each signal may be encoded, modulated and/or multiplexed. The information which is transmitted may be obtained from a second signal transmission received over a second medium.
