Claims21
A method of operation of a transceiver in a plurality of modes including at least a first mode and a second mode, the method comprising:
- in the first mode based on spatial multiplexing:
- generating separate first mode transmit symbols by first transmitters of the transceiver and second transmitters of the transceiver;
- and
- transmitting the separate first mode transmit symbols from the first transmitters and the second transmitters over a first set of antennas and a second set of antennas across a spectrum of frequencies that is same for each of the first transmitters and the second transmitters;
- and
- in the second mode based on the spatial multiplexing and bandwidth expansion:
- generating separate second mode transmit symbols by the first transmitters and the second transmitters;
- transmitting the separate second mode transmit symbols from the first transmitters over the first set of antennas across a first spectrum of frequencies;
- and
- transmitting the separate second mode transmit symbols from the second transmitters over the second set of antennas across a second spectrum of frequencies, wherein the first spectrum of frequencies does not overlap with the second spectrum of frequencies.
A method of operation of a transceiver in a plurality of modes including at least a first mode and a second mode, the method comprising:
- in the first mode based on spatial multiplexing:
- receiving separate first mode symbols with first receivers of the transceiver and second receivers of the transceiver via a first set of antennas and a second set of antennas across a spectrum of frequencies that is same for each of the first receivers and the second receivers;
- and
- in the second mode based on the spatial multiplexing and bandwidth expansion:
- receiving separate second mode symbols with the first receivers of the transceiver via the first set of antennas across a first spectrum of frequencies;
- and
- receiving the separate second mode symbols with the second receivers of the transceiver via the second set of antennas across a second spectrum of frequencies, wherein the first spectrum of frequencies does not overlap with the second spectrum of frequencies.
An article of manufacture including a non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by a computing device, cause the computing device to perform operations comprising:
- generating separate first mode transmit symbols by first transmitters and second transmitters of a transceiver;
- transmitting in a first mode the separate first mode transmit symbols from the first transmitters and the second transmitters over a first set of antennas and a second set of antennas across a spectrum of frequencies that is same for each of the first transmitters and the second transmitters;
- generating separate second mode transmit symbols by the first transmitters and the second transmitters;
- transmitting in a second mode the separate second mode transmit symbols from the first transmitters over the first set of antennas across a first spectrum of frequencies;
- and
- transmitting in the second mode the separate second mode transmit symbols from the second transmitters over the second set of antennas across a second spectrum of frequencies, wherein the first spectrum of frequencies does not overlap with the second spectrum of frequencies.
An article of manufacture including a non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by a computing device, cause the computing device to perform operations comprising:
- receiving in a first mode based on spatial multiplexing separate first mode symbols with first receivers of a transceiver and second receivers of the transceiver at a mobile station via a first set of antennas and a second set of antennas across a spectrum of frequencies that is same for each of the first receivers and the second receivers;
- receiving in a second mode based on the spatial multiplexing and bandwidth expansion separate second mode symbols with the first receivers of the transceiver at the mobile station via the first set of antennas across a first spectrum of frequencies;
- and
- receiving in the second mode the separate second mode symbols with the second receivers of the transceiver at the mobile station via the second set of antennas across a second spectrum of frequencies, wherein the first spectrum of frequencies does not overlap with the second spectrum of frequencies.
