Abstract:
1. A method of routing a wireless signal between two points, said method comprising the steps of: transmitting a wireless signal from an originating transmitter; receiving said wireless signal at a first set of repeating transceivers; in each said repeating transceiver, delaying said wireless signal by at least one predetermined delay and re-transmitting said wireless signal; such pre-determined delays in such transceivers being calculated to cause a desired alignment in time of arrival of such re-transmitted wireless signals at a destination receiver; receiving said re-transmitted wireless signals at said destination receiver; demodulating said re-transmitted wireless signals separately within said destination receiver to produce a set of demodulated signals; and summing said set of demodulated signals in a time-correlated manner which produces a summed demodulated signal which has a higher signal-to-noise ratio than the signal-to-noise ratio of any of said demodulated signals.
