Abstract
A method is provided for transmitting data. A first device () generates a first signal () having a first duty cycle, comprising a first gated-on portion () and a first gated-off portion () in a time slot (); and a second device () generates a second signal () having second duty cycle, comprising a second gated-on portion () and a second gated-off portion () in the same time slot (). The first gated-on portion () is generated during a first segment of the time slot () and the first gated-off portion () is generated during a second segment of the time slot (), while the second gated-on portion () is generated during the second segment and the second gated-off portion () is generated during the first segment. The first and second duty cycles are individually below 100%, and the sum of the first and second duty cycles is below 100%.
