Chirp communications
First Claim
1. A transmitter configured to communicate a data chirp signal to a receiver, the data chirp signal comprising at least one symbol, each of the symbols comprising one or more identical chirps, each of the symbols having a different chirp gradient than at least one other symbol in the data chirp signal, each of the chirps encoding a symbol value, the transmitter comprising:
- an address encoding module configured to encode an address associated with the communication via the sequence of gradients of the symbols in the data chirp signal;
a data encoding module configured to encode traffic data in the data chirp signal via the symbol value of each chirp; and
a transmitting module configured to transmit the data chirp signal to the receiver,wherein at least a portion of the address and at least a portion of the traffic data are encoded on the same chirp.

Abstract
A transmitter configured to communicate a data chirp signal to a receiver, the chirp signal comprising at least one symbol, each symbol comprising one or more identical chirps, each symbol having a different gradient to another symbol in the chirp signal, each chirp encoding a symbol value, the transmitter comprising: an address encoding module configured to encode an address associated with the communication via the sequence of gradients of the symbols in the chirp signal; a data encoding module configured to encode data in the chirp signal via the symbol value of each chirp; and a transmitting module configured to transmit the data chirp signal to the receiver.

6. A receiver configured to receive a data chirp signal from a transmitter, the data chirp signal comprising at least one symbol, each of the symbols comprising one or more identical chirps, each of the symbols having a different chirp gradient than at least one other symbol in the data chirp signal, each of the chirps encoding a symbol value, the receiver comprising:
-
a receiving module configured to receive the data chirp signal from the transmitter; an address decoding module configured to decode an address associated with the communication from the sequence of gradients of the symbols in the data chirp signal; and a data decoding module configured to decode traffic data in the data chirp signal from the symbol value of each chirp; and wherein at least a portion of the address and at least a portion of the traffic data are decoded from the same chirp. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11)

12. A method of communicating a data chirp signal to a receiver, the data chirp signal comprising at least one symbol, each of the symbols comprising one or more identical chirps, each of the symbols having a different chirp gradient than at least one other symbol in the data chirp signal, each of the chirps encoding a symbol value, the method comprising:
-
at the transmitter, encoding an address associated with the communication via the sequence of gradients of the symbols in the data chirp signal; at the transmitter, encoding traffic data in the data chirp signal via the symbol value of each chirp; and transmitting the data chirp signal to the receiver, wherein at least a portion of the address and at least a portion of the traffic data are encoded on the same chirp. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
