Abstract
Systems, devices, and methods are described for multi-band spread spectrum communication. A communication system, which may include any number of communication nodes, may include a first communication node including a dedicated first number of subcarrier bands, and a second communication node including a dedicated second number of subcarrier bands. The first communication node may be configured to transmit a link request to the second communication node over the first number of subcarrier bands, and the second communication node may be configured to transmit another link request to the first communication node over the second number of subcarrier bands.
Claims20
A communication system, comprising:
- a network including a number of communication nodes including at least:
- a first communication node including a dedicated first number of subcarrier bands;
- and
- a second communication node including a dedicated second number of subcarrier bands;
- wherein the first communication node is configured to transmit link requests to other nodes of the network over the dedicated first number of subcarrier bands, and the second communication node is configured to transmit link requests to other nodes of the network over the dedicated second number of subcarrier bands.
A communication system, comprising:
- a number of communication nodes, each communication node of the number of communication nodes including a number of dedicated subcarrier bands that other communication nodes of the number of communications nodes use to send link requests to the communication node.
A method, comprising:
- transmitting, via a first communication device, a link request to a second communication device over a number of subcarrier bands assigned to the first communication device;
- and
- monitoring, via the first communication device, a different number of subcarrier bands assigned to a second communication device for another link request transmitted to the first communication device.
A method, comprising:
- transmitting, via a first communication device, a link request to a second communication device over a first number of subcarrier bands assigned to the first communication device;
- and
- monitoring, via the first communication device, the first number of subcarrier bands, a link response transmitted from the second communication device.
A communication system, comprising:
- a network including a number of communication nodes including at least:
- a first communication node including a dedicated first number of subcarrier bands;
- and
- a second communication node including a dedicated second number of subcarrier bands;
- wherein the first communication node is configured to receive link requests from other communication nodes of the network via the dedicated first number of subcarrier bands, and the second communication node is configured to receive link requests from other communication nodes of the network via the dedicated second number of subcarrier bands.
