ABSTRACT:
Systems and methods of ultra-wideband communication are provided. In one ultra-wideband communication method, a communication channel is divided into a plurality of non-overlapping sub-channels by dividing a single serial message intended for an ultra-wideband communication device into a plurality of parallel messages. Each of the plurality of parallel messages are then encoded onto at least some of the plurality of sub-channels, and then transmitted. This Abstract is provided for the sole purpose of complying with the Abstract requirement rules that allow a reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the disclosure contained herein. This Abstract is submitted with the explicit understanding that it will not be used to interpret or to limit the scope or the meaning of the claims.
