Abstract:
1. A method for coordinating communication amongst wireless communication devices in a wireless network, comprising: receiving, at a receive device, a data packet via a wireless communication link from a transmit device; detecting, by the receive device, a preamble of the data packet, the preamble comprised of a sequence of energy pulses, where energy pulses are separated by a gap and duration of a single the gap in the sequence of pulses encodes coordination data for the receive device, each energy pulse in the sequence of pulses has a length and is comprised of a plurality of data samples, where each pulse includes at least D samples and D is a ratio of a clock rate of the transmit device to a clock rate of the receive device; extracting, by the receive device, the coordination data from the preamble of the data packet; and coordinating, by the receive device, communication between the transmit device and the receive device using the coordination data.
