Abstract
A first combination of frequency bands is selected for transmitting a first data packet, and a second, different combination of frequency bands is selected for transmitting a second data packet. A data stream is divided into a first set of data and a second set of data. The first set of data is allocated to the first combination of frequency bands, and the second set of data is allocated to the second combination of frequency bands.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- selecting a first combination of frequency bands for transmitting a first data packet;
- using a transmitter, selecting a second combination of frequency bands for transmitting a second data packet, said second combination being different from said first combination;
- and
- parsing a data stream into a first set of data and a second set of data, said first set of data allocated to said first combination of frequency bands and said second set of data allocated to said second combination of frequency bands.
1 more element
A method comprising:
- obtaining information identifying a first plurality of frequencies available for transmitting a first packet;
- transmitting said first data packet using a first combination of frequency bands selected from a first set of frequencies of said first plurality of frequencies;
- using a transmitter, obtaining information identifying a second plurality of frequencies available for transmitting a second packet, said second plurality of frequencies being different from said first plurality of frequencies;
- and
- transmitting said second data packet using a second combination of frequency bands selected from said second set of frequencies of said second plurality of frequencies.
2 more elements
A device comprising:
- a plurality of antennas operable for transmitting wireless signals comprising packets of data;
- and
- a transmitter coupled to said plurality of antennas and operable for producing said wireless signals from a data stream, said transmitter operable for dividing said data stream into different frequency bands, wherein a first combination of said frequency bands is selected for transmitting a first packet and wherein a second combination of said frequency bands is selected for transmitting a second packet, said second combination different from said first combination.
