Abstract
A method and system improves data throughput when performing error control in Ultra Wideband (UWB) communications. The method and system is capable of performing communications via a first wireless communications link and a second wireless communications link. The first wireless communications link is a UWB transmission link and the second wireless communications link is a different type of wireless communications link for communicating error control data for the UWB transmission link.
Claims52
A method, comprising:
- providing a first wireless communications link;
- providing a second wireless communications link;
- wherein the first wireless communications link is a ultra wideband (UWB) transmission link for transmitting payload data, and the second wireless communications link is a different type of wireless communications link for communicating error control data for the ultra wideband (UWB) transmission link without communicating payload data.
A system comprising:
- first communications module for performing wireless communications via a first communications link;
- second communications module for performing wireless communications via a second communications link;
- wherein the first wireless communications link for transmitting payload data is a ultra wideband (UWB) transmission link for communicating data at very high data transfer rates, and the second wireless communications link is a different type of wireless communications link for communicating error control data for the ultra wideband (UWB) transmission link without communicating payload data.
A system comprising:
- means for providing a first wireless communications link;
- means for providing a second wireless communications link;
- wherein the first wireless communications link for transmitting payload data is a ultra wideband (UWB) transmission link for communicating data at very high data transfer rates, and the second wireless communications link is a different type of wireless communications link for communicating error control data for the ultra wideband (UWB) transmission link without communicating payload data.
A computer-readable medium encoded with processing instructions for implementing a method performed by a wireless communications device, the method comprising:
- providing a first wireless communications link;
- providing a second wireless communications link;
- wherein the first communications link is a ultra wideband (UWB) transmission link for communicating payload data at very high data transfer rates, and the second wireless communications link is a different type of wireless communications link for communicating error control data for the ultra wideband (UWB) transmission link without communicating payload data.
A method comprising:
- providing a first wireless communications link;
- providing a second wireless communications link;
- arranging the first wireless communications link to communicate payload data, wherein the first communication link is an ultra wide band transmission link;
- and
- arranging the second wireless communications link, which is different from the first communications link, to communicate error control data of the first wireless communications link without communicating payload data,
- wherein the first wireless communications link enables communication at a significantly higher data rate than the second wireless communications link.
