Abstract

A method, system and type of database for transmitting data is disclosed in which the data is organized into a structured linear database. The structured linear database includes a routing header portion, a file allocation table, a data portion and a tailbit portion. The structured linear database may be transmitted over any type of network, such as a TM-UWB system or a fiber-optic system. Once the data to be transmitted is identified, a corresponding field is identified in the field allocation table giving the location of the data within the transmission. This field is then referenced by the user to access the specific type of data desired at the given location of the transmission. this process may be repeated enabling data to be stored on transmission lines and accessed at any point at any time providing an always on network.

Claims

1. A method for providing a structured linear database adapted for storage in a non-transitory machine readable storage medium comprising:

providing a linear file allocation table including a field name for one or more subdivisions of data and pulse start and end position information for each of the field names;

providing a data portion which includes the data corresponding to each field in a predetermined position corresponding to the start and end position information in the file allocation table for each field;

associating the linear file allocation table and the data portion in a pulse position encoded transmission; and

wherein the structured linear database is transmitted over a pulsed system without packetizing the data.

2. The method for providing a structured linear database of claim 1 further comprising providing a routing header portion and a tailbit portion with the linear file allocation table and the data portion.

3. The method for providing a structured linear database of claim 1 wherein the structured linear database is transmitted over a telecommunications network.

4. The method for providing a structured linear database of claim 1 wherein the structured linear database is transmitted over a fiber optics system.

5. A method of transmitting data from a master to a user, the method comprising:

understanding the type of data to be transmitted from the master;

accessing the data stored by the master;

creating one or more fields corresponding to the type of data to be transmitted;

writing a linear file allocation table giving the name of the field and location within a transmission at which contents of the field start and stop;

transmitting the linear file allocation table to a user;

transmitting the data from the master to the user at the location indicated in the linear file allocation table and without packetizing the data; and

wherein the transmission occurs using a pulsed system.

6. The method of transmitting data from a master to a user of claim 5 wherein the transmission occurs using a fiber optic system.

7. The method of transmitting data from a master to a user of claim 5 further comprising:

repeating the transmitting of the linear file allocation table to user; and

repeating the transmitting of the data from the master to the user at the location indicated in the linear file allocation table such that both the linear file allocation table and the data are stored on a transmission system.

8. The method of transmitting data from a master to a user of claim 5 wherein the transmitting is done wirelessly.

9. The method of transmitting data from a master to a user of claim 5 wherein the data includes streaming data.

10. The method of transmitting data from a master to a user of claim 5 wherein the data includes non-streaming data.
