Ultrasound communication system and related methods

An ultrasound communication system comprising:

• a structure;
• a plurality of ultrasound transmitters each connected to and spaced-apart along the structure to transmit modulated ultrasound communications along the structure;
• and
• an ultrasound receiver positioned remote from the plurality of ultrasound transmitters and connected to the structure to receive modulated ultrasound communication from each of the plurality of ultrasound transmitters.

A method of ultrasound communication, the method comprising:

• mounting a plurality of ultrasound transmitters in spaced-apart relation along a structure;
• mounting an ultrasound receiver to the structure remote from each of the plurality of ultrasound transmitters;
• modulating each of the plurality of transmitters with a preselected modulation scheme;
• transmitting ultrasound data communication from at least one of the plurality of transmitters along the structure to the ultrasound receiver;
• receiving the ultrasound communication at the ultrasound receiver;
• and
• demodulating the received ultrasound communication.
