Wireless communication system

A method of wireless communication between transceivers in which the transceivers include at least a controller and a terminal, the method comprising the steps of:

• the controller transmitting signals to the terminal according to a protocol;
• the terminal processing the signals in a re-transmit mode and a data processing mode;
• in which, in the re-transmit mode, the terminal modulates and re-transmits signals received from the controller;
• and
• in the data processing mode, the terminal demodulates signals received from the controller.

Apparatus for a wireless transceiver for communicating chirp signals, the apparatus comprising:

• a re-transmitter configured to receive chirp signals from an antenna, the re-transmitter comprising a modulator;
• and
• a data sink in communication with the modulator;
• wherein the modulator is configured to provide modulation of data from the data sink onto received chirp signals for re-transmitting using an antenna.

A method for wirelessly communicating signals, the method comprising:

• receiving a signal having been received using an antenna;
• determining whether the received signal should be processed in a data processing mode or a re-transmit mode;
• and
• storing data from the received signal in a data sink when in a determined data processing mode, and using a modulator to modulate the received signal with data from a data store in re-transmit mode for re-transmission.
