System, method, and computer-readable medium for reducing required throughput in an ultra-wideband system

A method of buffering frames in a wireless communication system, comprising:

• discarding one or more frames of a first plurality of frames based on a sub-sampling rate to form a second plurality of frames;
• partitioning a first frame of the second plurality of frames into a first plurality of partitions;
• partitioning a second frame of the second plurality of frames into a second plurality of partitions, wherein each of the second plurality of partitions respectively corresponds to one of the first plurality of partitions;
• comparing each of the second plurality of partitions with a corresponding partition of the first plurality of partitions;
• discarding any of the second plurality of partitions that are determined to not differ from the corresponding partition of the first plurality of partitions;
• evaluating a capacity of a frame buffer to store a first partition of the second plurality of partitions;
• and
• discarding the first partition and any remaining non-buffered partitions of the second plurality of partitions from the second plurality of frames based on the capacity of the frame buffer to form a third plurality of frames.
