Rate-less wireless communication using protocol coding

摘要

A communication system having two communication units configured for wireless communication and a method for wireless communication. Each of the communication units includes a communication controller using at least two communication protocols: a first protocol for communicating having a first error rate threshold and a fixed data rate, and a second protocol for communicating having a second error rate threshold being higher than the first error rate threshold and a non-fixed data rate. The communication controller switches between the first protocol and the second protocol.

1. A communication system comprising:
two communication units configured for wireless communication, each of the two communication units comprising
a communication controller configured to control communication to a wireless communication network, the communication controller configured to communicate using one of two communication protocol modes where a first communication protocol mode uses a first protocol for communicating having a first error rate threshold and a fixed data rate, and a second communication protocol mode uses a second protocol for communicating having a second error rate threshold being higher than the first error rate threshold and a non-fixed data rate,the communication controller being configured to reconfigure the first protocol for communicating to the second protocol for communicating, wherein the first communication protocol includes transmitting a signalling unit and a corresponding data unit, the second communication protocol treating the signalling units and the data units of the first communication protocol as secondary modulation symbols and the data unit and the signalling unit for the second communication protocol are sent through the secondary modulation symbols, the second communication protocol comprising transmitting data using the signalling unit or the data unit of the first protocol.
