Abstract
Time-frequency coding in a multi-band ultra-wideband system is generally described. In this regard a hopping code agent is presented to select a frequency hopping code for encoding and decoding from a set of predetermined FHC's for communicating with other devices in a multi-band ultra-wideband (MB-UWB) network, wherein the FHC defines a sequence of two or more pulses over two or more frequencies and wherein the FHC's include a time slot that contains no transmission. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.
Claims8
An electronic appliance, comprising:
- one or more dipole antenna(e);
- one or more transceiver(s), coupled with the one or more dipole antenna(e), to communicate with other devices;
- and
- a hopping code engine to select a frequency hopping code (FHC) from a set of predetermined FHC's for communicating with other devices in a multi-band ultra-wideband (MB-UWB) network, wherein the FHC is selected based on being able to decode a beacon signal, wherein the FHC defines a sequence of two or more pulses over two or more frequencies and wherein the FHC's include a time slot that contains no transmission.

An apparatus, comprising:
- one or more dipole antenna(e);
- one or more transceiver(s), coupled with the dipole antenna(e), to communicate with other devices;
- and
- control logic coupled with the transceiver(s), the control logic to select a frequency hopping code (FHC) from a set of predetermined FHC's for communicating with other devices in a multi-band ultra-wideband (MB-UWB) network, wherein the FHC is selected based on being able to decode a beacon signal, wherein the FHC defines a sequence of two or more pulses over two or more frequencies and wherein the FHC's include a time slot that contains no transmission.
