发明名称 TRANSMISSION AND MEDIUM ACCESS CONTROL TECHNIQUES FOR ULTRASONIC COMMUNICATIONS IN THE BODY
摘要 Methods and devices for transmitting and receiving data through biological tissue using ultrasonic pulses are described. Methods of the present invention may set an initial time-hopping frame length and an initial spreading code length for data transmission. A request-to-transmit may be sent from a transmitter over a control channel at the initial frame and code length. The receiver may respond to the transmitter with a clear-to-transmit packet having feedback information. The feedback information can be used to improve a forward time-hopping frame length and a forward spreading code length. Embodiments of the invention may involve a body area network or body surface network comprising a plurality of implanted sensor nodes operating according to the disclosed invention.

主权项 1. A method for transmitting data through biological tissue using ultrasonic pulses comprising: setting, at a transmitter, an initial time-hopping frame length and an initial spreading code length for data transmission; sending, from the transmitter, a request-to-transmit packet to a receiver over a control channel at the initial time-hopping frame length and the initial spreading code length; receiving, at the transmitter, a clear-to-transmit packet from the receiver over the control channel, the clear-to-transmit packet comprising feedback information; calculating a private time-hopping sequence and private spreading code based on a pseudo-random sequence generator and an ID of the transmitter; establishing a connection with the receiver using the private time-hopping sequence and private spreading code; setting, at the transmitter, a forward time-hopping frame length and a forward spreading code length based on the feedback data in the clear-to-transmit packet; sending, from the transmitter, a data packet using the private time-hopping sequence, private spreading code, forward time-hopping frame length, and forward spreading code length; receiving, at the transmitter, an acknowledgement packet having updated feedback data; and setting, at the transmitter, the forward time-hopping frame length and the forward spreading code length based on the updated feedback information.
