`This listing of claims will repla<~e all prior versions, and listinJ?i, of claims in the application.
`Listing of Claims;
`1. (Currently Amended) A communication device capable of r::ommunicating according to a
`master/slave relationship in which a slave conununication from a slave to a master occurs in
`response to a master communication from the master to the slave, the device comprising:
`a transceiver~ in the role of the master according to th~ master/slave relationship, for
`sending at least transmissions modulated using at least two types of modulation methods,
`wherein the at least two types of modulation methods comprise a first modu~'ation method ~d
`a second modulation method, wherein the second modclation method is of a· different type
`than the first modulation method, whe~ein ~ eci~h ~artsmiss[c,n[[s]] comprise~! group[~s]]
`of transmission sequences~ whE~rein each group ef said grelip:l of transm.ission sequenCes !§ ,
`structured with at least a first portio1i and a payload portion Wherein first in:fom1ation in the
`first portion indicates at least which of the. first modulation method and the second
`modulation method is used for modulating second informatic,n in the payload portion,
`wherein at lea.st one group oftransnrission sequences is addrt:S'sed for an intended destination
`of the payload portion, and wherein for the at least one group ,,ftnmsmission sequences:
`the first information for said at least one group of transmission sequences comprises a
`fust sequence, in the first portion and modulated according to the first modulation method,
`wherein the first sequence indi ca.te~1 an impending change fml'n the first modulation method
`to the second modulation method, und
`the second information for :;aid at least one group of transmission sequences
`comprises a second sequence[[.]] !:1~ modulated according to the second modulation
`method, wherein the second st~queace is transmitted after the first sequence.
`
`'
`
`'
`
`2. (Previously Presented) The device of claim 1, wherein th.::: transceiver is configured to
`transmit a third sequence after the iecond sequence, wherein me third sequence is transmitted
`in the ftrSt modulation method and indicates that communication from the master to the slave
`has reverted to the first modulatioll method.
