Method and apparatus for adapting multi-band ultra-wideband signaling to interference sources

摘要

A method and apparatus for signal detection and error detection in a multi-band system. The method for error detection comprising the steps: receiving a plurality of bursts, each burst occupying at least one of a plurality of frequency bands, the plurality of bursts encoding a symbol, the symbol corresponding to data, wherein the symbol is encoded such that a burst occupying each frequency band is transmitted a specified number of times within the plurality of bursts; determining that a given burst has not been detected the specified number of times ( 2000, 2010, 2020, 2030, 2040, 2050, 2060, 2070); and declaring a transmission error for the symbol. In one variation, the frequency bands comprise wideband frequency bands.
