Abstract
A terminal apparatus for providing wireless point-to-multipoint communications is disclosed. The apparatus includes a plurality of outdoor units that are configured to support simultaneously a plurality of channels. Additionally, the apparatus includes an indoor unit that is coupled to the plurality of outdoor units and is configured to receive a signal from a hub terminal over a wireless link.
Claims35
A system for providing wireless point-to-multipoint communications, the system comprising:
- a first terminal configured to transmit a signal over a wireless link;
- and
- a second terminal configured to receive the signal over the wireless link and to support simultaneously a plurality of channels.
A terminal apparatus for providing wireless point-to-multipoint communications, the terminal apparatus comprising:
- a plurality of outdoor units configured to support simultaneously a plurality of channels;
- and
- an indoor unit coupled to the plurality of outdoor units and configured to receive a signal from a hub terminal over a wireless link.
A method for providing wireless point-to-multipoint communications, the method comprising:
- simultaneously receiving a signal over a communications channel among a plurality of communications channels supported by a single terminal;
- and
- selectively repeating the signal to another terminal.
A radio network for providing point-to-multipoint communications, the network comprising:
- a hub node configured to transmit radio signals according to a first modulation scheme;
- and
- a plurality of relay nodes configured to receive the signals from the hub node and to forward the signals according to a second modulation scheme to a plurality of radio terminals.
A terminal apparatus for providing wireless point-to-multipoint communications, the terminal apparatus comprising:
- transmission means for simultaneously supporting a plurality of channels;
- and
- an indoor unit coupled to the transmission means and configured to receive a signal from a hub terminal over a wireless link.
A method for reconfiguring a radio network that supports point-to-multipoint links, the method comprising:
- detecting a failed transmission of a signal;
- and
- rerouting the signal to a terminal that is configured to repeat the signal to a destination terminal, wherein the terminal is configured to support simultaneously a plurality of channels, the signal being transmitted over one of the plurality of channels.
A computer-readable medium carrying one or more sequences of one or more instructions for reconfiguring a radio network that supports point-to-multipoint links, the one or more sequences of one or more instructions including instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform the steps of:
- detecting a failed transmission of a signal;
- and
- rerouting the signal to a terminal that is configured to repeat the signal to a destination terminal, wherein the terminal is configured to support simultaneously a plurality of channels, the signal being transmitted over one of the plurality of channels.
