1. A method of operating a wireless communication system for use in aircraft, comprising the steps of:
- providing a wireless headset within the aircraft, the headset including a first ultra wideband transceiver;
providing an intercom within the aircraft;
electrically connecting a base station to the intercom, the base station including a second ultra wideband transceiver; and
wirelessly and bi-directionally communicating data packets between the first and second ultra wideband transceivers, the communicating including transmitting a plurality of frames, each of the frames including a plurality of said data packets, at least one of the data packets in each frame having never before been transmitted, and at least one of the data packets in each frame having been earlier transmitted.
