Claims32
A method comprising:
- generating first mode transmit symbols at a first transmitter and a second transmitter of a transmitting device;
- transmitting in a first mode using the first mode transmit symbols from the first transmitter and the second transmitter on separate data streams in a common frequency spectrum band over a plurality of antennas;
- generating second mode transmit symbols at the first transmitter and the second transmitter of the transmitting device;
- transmitting in a second mode the second mode transmit symbols from the first transmitter over a first set of antennas across a first frequency spectrum;
- and
- transmitting in the second mode using the second mode transmit symbols from the second transmitter over a second set of antennas across a second frequency spectrum, wherein the first frequency spectrum does not overlap with the second frequency spectrum.
A method comprising:
- receiving, in a first mode, first mode symbols with a first receiver and a second receiver operating in a common frequency spectrum band via a plurality of antennas;
- receiving, in a second mode, second mode symbols with the first receiver over a first set of antennas operating in a first frequency spectrum;
- and
- receiving, in the second mode, second mode symbols with the second receiver over a second set of antennas operating in a second frequency spectrum, wherein the first frequency spectrum does not overlap with the second frequency spectrum.
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 the operations comprising:
- generating first mode transmit symbols at a first transmitter and a second transmitter of a transmitting device;
- transmitting in a first mode using the first mode transmit symbols from the first transmitter and the second transmitter on separate data streams in a common frequency spectrum band over a plurality of antennas;
- generating second mode transmit symbols at the first transmitter and the second transmitter of the transmitting device;
- transmitting in a second mode the second mode transmit symbols from the first transmitter over a first set of antennas across a first frequency spectrum;
- and
- transmitting in the second mode using the second mode transmit symbols from the second transmitter over a second set of antennas across a second frequency spectrum, wherein the first frequency spectrum does not overlap with the second frequency spectrum.
