Abstract:
An ultrasonic communication system and method provide a networking framework for wearable devices based on ultrasonic communications. The ultrasonic communication system and method incorporate a set of physical, data link, network and application layer functionalities that can flexibly adapt to application and system requirements to efficiently distribute information between ultrasonic wearable devices.

Claim (Index 22):
A method for transmitting data ultrasonically among wearable devices comprising:\n providing a node comprising:\n a communication unit comprising an ultrasonic transceiver to transmit and receive in-air ultrasonic signals, and \n a processing unit in communication with the communication unit, comprising one or more processors and memory, and a protocol stack comprising a plurality of layers through which a data packet is transmitted; \n coding or decoding a data packet by transmission through the layers of the protocol stack within the processing unit to optimize a data rate and/or a bit error rate; and transmitting an ultrasonic signal through biological tissue to or receiving an ultrasonic signal that has passed through biological tissue from another node, at the optimized data rate and bit error rate.
