Abstract
Methods and apparatuses for Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) communication of non-OFDM radio signals are disclosed. The non-OFDM radio signals are force-modulated into OFDM signals. In one example, a non-OFDM signal is received and is processed into an OFDM signal to produce a created OFDM signal. An actual OFDM signal is also received and is processed together with the created OFDM signal.
Claims20
A method of operating a computing device to accommodate non-OFDM signals, the method comprising:
- a) receiving a non-OFDM signal;
- b) processing the non-OFDM signal into a created OFDM signal;
- and
- c) processing the created OFDM signal.
A method of operating a computing device to accommodate non-OFDM signals, the method comprising:
- a) receiving a non-OFDM signal;
- b) processing the non-OFDM signal into an OFDM signal to produce a created
- OFDM signal;
- c) receiving an actual OFDM signal;
- and
- d) processing the actual OFDM signal with the created OFDM signal.
Apparatus for operating a computing device to accommodate non-OFDM signals, the apparatus comprising:
- a first receive circuit configurable to receive a non-OFDM signal;
- a first processor configurable to process the non-OFDM signal to produce a created OFDM signal;
- a second receive circuit configurable to receive an OFDM signal;
- and
- a second processor configurable to process the actual OFDM signal together with the created OFDM signal and to execute an FFT on the signals.
