Patent ID: 8085830

Claim:
A system for use with an infrastructure network, the system comprising: a first device connected to the infrastructure network, the first device including a first ultra-wideband radio transceiver configured to transmit routing data in a first ultra-wideband super-frame using a first ultra-wideband band group; and a second ultra-wideband radio transceiver configured to receive other data in a second ultra-wideband super-frame using a second ultra-wideband band group being different than the first ultra-wideband band group, the first device being configured to extract infrastructure network addressing instructions from the other data in the second ultra-wideband super-frame, and provide the infrastructure network addressing instructions to the infrastructure network, the infrastructure network addressing instructions being other than peer-to-peer network addressing instructions; a second device including a first ultra-wideband radio transceiver configured to receive the routing data in the first ultra-wideband super-frame using the first ultra-wideband band group; the second device being configured to maintain routing information based upon routing data received by the first ultra-wideband radio transceiver; and a second ultra-wideband radio transceiver configured to receive other data in a third ultra-wideband super-frame, extract the infrastructure network addressing instructions from the other data of the third ultra-wideband super-frame, and transmit the infrastructure network addressing instructions in the other data in the second ultra-wideband super-frame to the first device using the second ultra-wideband band group based upon the routing information and the infrastructure network addressing instructions; and a third device comprising an ultra-wideband radio transceiver configured to transmit the infrastructure network addressing instructions in the other data in the third ultra-wideband super-frame to the second device using the second ultra-wideband band group.
