Abstract
A method for enabling a device executing a processing module to enable simultaneous operations in multiple frequency bands. The method includes sensing a set of one or more vacant channels, determining availability of particular spectrum channels in the one or more vacant channels, reserving one or more particular spectrum channels from the one or more vacant channels and configuring the device for the one or more particular spectrum channels for communication.
Claims19
A method performed by a device programmed by a processing module for enabling a device for simultaneous operations in multiple frequency bands comprising:
- sensing one or more vacant channels;
- determining availability of a set of spectrum channels in the one or more vacant channels;
- reserving one or more particular spectrum channels from the one or more vacant channels;
- and
- configuring the device to use the one or more particular spectrum channels for communication.
A device capable of simultaneous operations in multiple frequency bands comprising:
- a sensor for sensing one or more vacant channels;
- a processing module for determining availability of a set of spectrum channels in the one or more vacant channels for broadband communication;
- a communication module for reserving one or more particular spectrum channels;
- and
- a configuration module for reprogramming the device for the one or more particular spectrum channels for communication.
A device capable of simultaneous operations in multiple frequency bands comprising:
- means for sensing one or more vacant channels;
- means for determining availability of one or more particular spectrum channels in the one or more vacant channels for broadband communication;
- means for reserving the one or more particular spectrum channels;
- and
- means for reprogramming the device for the one or more particular spectrum channels for communication.
