Abstract
In an ultra-wideband (“UWB”) communication system, methods are disclosed for transmitting packets in multiple portions, each having a different pulse repetition frequency (“PRF”). Methods are also disclosed for transmitting packets dis-continuously.
Claims10
A method for use in an ultra-wideband communication system for transmitting a packet comprising first and second portions, the method comprising configuring a transmitter facility of the system to perform the steps of:
- transmitting the first portion of the packet at a selected first pulse repetition frequency (“PRF”);
- and
- transmitting the second portion of the packet at a selected second PRF different from the first PRF, wherein:
- the second portion of the packet is further characterized as comprising a data payload;
- and
- the second PRF is selected to reduce a transmission duration of the data payload.
A wireless communication system, comprising:
- a transmitter, the transmitter operable to transmit a packet comprising a first portion and a second portion, wherein:
- the first portion of the packet is transmitted at a first pulse repetition frequency (“PRF”);
- and
- the second portion of the packet is transmitted at a second PRF that is different from the first PRF, wherein:
- the second portion of the packet is further characterized as comprising a data payload;
- and
- the second PRF is selected to reduce a transmission duration of the data payload.
A non-transitory computer readable medium including executable instructions which, when executed in a processing system, cause operations to be performed, the operations comprising:
- transmitting a first portion of a packet at a first pulse repetition frequency (“PRF”);
- and
- transmitting a second portion of the packet at a second PRF that is different from the first PRF, wherein:
- the second portion of the packet is further characterized as comprising a data payload;
- and
- the second PRF is selected to reduce a transmission duration of the data payload.
