Abstract

The present invention describes a network communication system which includes a first slave transceiver configured to communicate a plurality of TDMA data packets at different data rates to a second slave transceiver. The second slave transceiver is also configured to communicate a plurality of TDMA data packets at different data rates to the first slave transceiver. A master transceiver manages data communications between the first slave transceiver and the second slave transceiver. Each transceiver includes a data modulation unit, a transmitter, an antenna, and a receiver. The data modulation unit is configured to generate a plurality of signals having variable pulse repetition frequencies and different modulation techniques. The transmitter is coupled to the data modulation unit and the transmitter is configured to generate a pulse stream according to the data modulation unit. The transmitting antenna is coupled to the transmitter and the transmitting antenna is configured to transmit a plurality of ultra wide band base band signals. The receiver is configured to detect and demodulate said ultra wide band base band signals operating at variable pulse repetition frequencies and having different modulation methods.

Claims (16)

1. A network communication system, comprising:

a first device having a first data bandwidth requirement, said first device configured to transmit and receive data at different data rates;

a second device having a second data bandwidth requirement; said second device configured to transmit and receive data at different rates and configured to communicate with said first device; and

a master transceiver configured to manage data communications between said first device and said second device by assigning a variable length data slot based on the first device and the second device bandwidth requirements;

wherein said communications between said first device and said second device is configured to operate in an ultra wide band environment.

2. The network communication system of claim 1 , wherein said communication between said first device and said second device is configured to be performed in a wireless environment.

3. The network communication system of claim 1 , wherein said transmitted and received data rates between said first and said second device varies as a function of noise or reflection.

4. A network communication system, comprising:

a first slave transceiver configured to communicate a plurality of TDMA data packets at different data rates;

a second slave transceiver configured to communicate a plurality of TDMA data packets at different data rates to said first slave transceiver; and

a master transceiver configured to manage data communications between said first slave transceiver and said second slave transceiver by assigning a variable length data slot within each of the plurality of TDMA data packets;

wherein said communication between said first slave transceiver and said second slave transceiver is configured to operate in an ultra wide band environment.

5. The network communication system as recited in claim 4 , wherein said master transceiver is further configured to synchronize communications between said first slave transceiver and said second slave transceiver.

6. The network communication system as recited in claim 4 , further comprising a third transceiver in communications with said master transceiver, said third transceiver configured to communicate a plurality of TDMA data packets at different data rates.

7. The network communication system as recited in claim 4 , wherein said communication between said first slave transceiver and said second slave transceiver is configured to be performed in a wireless environment.

8. The network communication system as recited in claim 4 , wherein said plurality of TDMA data packet communication between said first slave transceiver and said second slave transceiver varies as a function of noise or reflection.
