Abstract
A configurable wireless communications module may include a first antenna layer having one or more antenna operating at a first wireless radio band; a second antenna layer having one or more antenna operating at a second wireless radio band; and a support structure for supporting the first antenna layer and the second antenna layer in a stacked configuration. A scalable modular processor within the communication may be customized based on the particular use scenario and configured to provide a number of functions in the RF domain and in concert with a variety of sensors and components.
Claims18
A system comprising:
- a first communications module, the communications module comprising:
- a modular processor comprising a central controller in electrical communication with a plurality of interchangeable modules;
- a first interchangeable module of the plurality of interchangeable modules configured as a first radio module in electrical communication with at least one of a plurality of antenna elements disposed within a plurality of layers, whereby the antenna elements within a layer of the plurality of layers are configured to operate within one assigned frequency band;
- and
- a second interchangeable module of the plurality of interchangeable modules configured as a network module to communicatively couple the central controller with an external network;
- and
- wherein the modular processor is configured to provide wireless data connectivity between the external network and a mobile device in wireless communication with at least one of a plurality of antenna elements,
- wherein the modular processor is further configured to:
- monitor bandwidth allocations based on a use parameter criterion,
- predict an improved allocation scheme based on the monitored allocations, and
- re-allocate bandwidth between one or more antenna elements of the plurality of antenna elements of the first communications module,
- wherein the use parameter criterion includes power consumption by the communications module, and
- wherein the modular processor is further configured to measure an RF parameter of an environment in proximity to the communications module and optimize allocations of frequencies to achieve a predetermined optimal communications threshold.
