DECT-like system and method of transceiving information over the industrial-scientific-medical spectrum

A system for wireless communications over the industrial-scientific-medical spectrum comprising:

• (a) a base station unit having a first transceiving unit;
• (b) a cordless personal access device having a second transceiving unit;
• and
• (c) the first and second transceiving units including:
• (i) an RF sub-module for transceiving information in a 2.4 to 23 GHz band;
• and
• (ii) a processor coupled and adapted to provide time slot and frame timing to the RF sub-module wherein a first plurality of carrier frequencies between 2.4 GHz and 2.4835 GHz and a minimum hop rate of 2.5 hops per second are maintained and to support a frame that has sixteen time slots that change carrier channels after two consecutive frames, wherein at least one time slot of the fame shares at least one of a set of sync bits, a set of signaling bits, a set of CRC bits or a set of FECC bits with at least one adjacent time slot of the frame.

A method comprising:

• (a) determining a current frame of a first plurality of frames to transmit data to a target device, each frame of the first plurality of frames residing at a unique carrier range in a 2.4 to 2.5 GHz band;
• (b) determining data to be transmitted over a plurality of time slots of the current frame, wherein at least one time slot of the plurality of time slots shares at least one of a set of sync bits, a set of signaling bits, a set of CRC bits or a set of FECC bits with at least one adjacent time slot of the plurality of time slots;
• (c) determining a different frame of the first plurality of frames, wherein the different frame and the current frame are not the same frame;
• and
• (d) identifying the different frame as the current frame after a predetermined number of frame cycles, and repeating (b), (c) and (d).
