Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and a device to improve the transmission characteristics of physical layer (PHY) hybrid automated repeat request (HARD) in multi subchannel frequency division duplex (FDD) links. The present invention provides a method for decreasing a transmission delay in a multi-sub-channel data transmission of physical layer frames using hybrid automated repeat request with acknowledgement signaling, wherein said method comprises: determining, if no physical layer frame needs to be transmitted in a provided sub channel, determining, if there is a physical layer frame of another sub-channel with pending acknowledgement, selecting said physical layer frame with pending acknowledgement, if no physical layer frame needs to be transmitted in the provided sub-channel, and transmitting said selected frame in said provided sub-channel. The method can also or additionally comprise determining a threshold number, based on the number of sub-channels in said multi-sub-channel data transmission, determining the number of physical layer frames to be transmitted in all subchannels, and controlling the transmission power of the transmission of the physical layer frames, on the basis of the relationship between said threshold number and said determined number of physical layer frame.

Abstract: In a mobile environment, a mobile device includes an attached memory stick (removable memory) having a high speed - memory and storage with direct memory access embodied in an integrated circuit chip coupled to an ultra-wideband (UWB) transceiver. The mobile device communicates with other like base devices, portable or stationary, via UWB transmissions using pulse bursts up to 1 Gbit per second. Data transfers between the devices occur in the simplex or duplex mode, after a low power communication connection is established between the devices. The communication link between the devices is in the range of 10-20 meters. The communication system allows existing device bus interfaces (which are much slower than ultra-wideband transmissions) to communicate between the fast read/write cycles of the memories integrated within the memory stick. Duplex transmission can occur by pulse interleaving sending side transmitters and receiving side transmitters.
