System and method for transmitting data in a wireless communication network

A system for transmitting data in a wireless communication network with at least one radio frequency channel, the system comprising a processing circuitry configured to:

• transmit the data over the at least one radio frequency channel in a sequence of a predetermined number of timeslots, wherein:
• (a) two or more users of the network share the given radio frequency channel and a given timeslot, (b) the data from the users is transmitted in the network using frequency hopping in which each of the users has a frequency hopping sequence, (c) the data of each user sharing the given timeslot in the given radio frequency channel is transmitted in a sub-channel of the given timeslot that is substantially orthogonal to other sub-channels of the given timeslot, and (d) the given timeslot includes a guard time sub-channel that is:
• (i) substantially orthogonal to other sub-channels of the given timeslot, (ii) located at the end of the given timeslot, (iii) not used to transmit the data from the users, and (iv) shared between the users, thereby enabling a receiver, receiving the data transmitted over the at least one radio frequency channel after propagation delay causing one or more of the sub-channels of the given timeslot to at least partly superimpose, to separate the one or more at least partly superimposed sub-channels by using the guard time sub-channel and utilizing a non-orthogonal access method.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied therewith, the computer readable program code, executable by at least one processing circuitry of a computer to perform a method for transmitting data in a wireless communication network with at least one radio frequency channel, the method comprising:

• transmitting the data over the at least one radio frequency channel in a sequence of a predetermined number of timeslots, wherein:
• (a) two or more users of the network share the given radio frequency channel and a given timeslot, (b) the data from the users is transmitted in the network using frequency hopping in which each of the users has a frequency hopping sequence, (c) the data of each user sharing the given timeslot in the given radio frequency channel is transmitted in a sub-channel of the given timeslot that is substantially orthogonal to other sub-channels of the given timeslot, and (d) the given timeslot includes a guard time sub-channel that is:
• (i) substantially orthogonal to other sub-channels of the given timeslot, (ii) located at the end of the given timeslot, (iii) not used to transmit the data from the users, and (iv) shared between the users, thereby enabling a receiver, receiving the data transmitted over the at least one radio frequency channel after propagation delay causing one or more of the sub-channels of the given timeslot to at least partly superimpose, to separate the one or more at least partly superimposed sub-channels by using the guard time sub-channel and utilizing a non-orthogonal access method.
