Claims24
A reconfigurable infrastructure system comprising a networked cloud of edge computing infrastructure, cloud computing infrastructure, at least one virtual appliance, a plurality of edge devices, and at least one medium controller,
- wherein the networked cloud of edge computing infrastructure executes communications, signal collection, signal generation, and combinations thereof over a medium;
- wherein the at least one virtual appliance processes or transmits a signal over a digital sample interface,
- wherein the at least one medium controller and at least one edge device transform the signal received or to be transmitted over the medium into a digitized sample interface,
- wherein,
- for communications,
- if receiving a digital sample interface, extract communications information from the digital sample interface or signal characteristics, and
- if transmitting a digital sample interface, transmit communication information;
- for signal collection, extract channel characteristics from the signal, and/or
- for signal generation, generate a digitized signal,
- wherein the digital sample interface receives and/or transmits digital sample interface samples,
- and
- wherein a virtual network supports network connectivity among container network functions, virtual network functions, and virtual medium access functions, which is dynamically reconfigured.
A method transmitting and receiving signals over mediums comprising
- transmitting and/or receiving a signal at a networked cloud of edge computing infrastructure that executes communications, signal collection, signal generation, and combinations thereof over a medium,
- transforming the signal received or to be transmitted over a medium into a digitized sample interface via at least one medium controller and at least one edge device,
- receives the digital sample interface to process or transmits over the digital sample interface via at least one virtual appliance;
- and
- supporting virtual network functions or containerized network functions in a virtual medium access system by virtual appliance, edge computing, and/or cloud computing hardware that,
- for communications, if receiving a digital sample interface, extracts communications information from the digital sample interface or signal characteristics, and if transmitting a digital sample interface, transmits communication information;
- for signal collection, extracts channel characteristics from the signal,
- for signal generation, generates a digitized signal.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions that when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to
- transmit and/or receive a signal at a networked cloud of edge computing infrastructure that executes communications, signal collection, signal generation, and combinations thereof over a medium,
- transform the signal received or to be transmitted over a medium into a digitized sample interface via at least one medium controller and at least one edge device,
- receive the digital sample interface to process or transmits over the digital sample interface via at least one virtual appliance;
- and
- support virtual network functions or containerized network functions in a virtual medium access system by virtual appliance, edge computing, and/or cloud computing hardware that,
- for communications, if receiving a digital sample interface, extracts communications information from the digital sample interface or signal characteristics, and if transmitting a digital sample interface, transmits communication information;
- for signal collection, extracts channel characteristics from the signal,
- for signal generation, generates a digitized signal.
