Abstract:
1. A method for transmitting information over a first medium, comprising: providing a first transceiver configured for UWB communications over the first medium; providing a second transceiver configured for UWB communications over a second medium, the second transceiver interfaced to the first transceiver; receiving at the second transceiver an incoming UWB communication having a first type of encoding and a first type of modulation; communicating information from the incoming UWB communication to the first transceiver; allocating for signal transmission by the first transceiver, a plurality of frequency sub-bands of an ultra-wide band spectrum; forming an ultra-wide band transmission from a plurality of signals, each of the signals associated with one of the plurality of frequency sub-bands, the ultra-wide band transmission including the information for transmission over the first medium; and sending over the first medium the ultra-wide band transmission including the information, the ultra-wide transmission having, a second type of encoding and a second type of modulation, the second type of encoding different from the first type of encoding and the second type of modulation different from the first type of modulation.
