Abstract
An alternative approach to coping with the ever increasing demand for faster communications hardware is to design modems that are capable of operating its speeds at a higher data rate than a speed required for a single port of the standard communication rate for that modem. Basically, by utilizing a resource manager, that directs the data in and out of the various portions of the modem in an orderly manner, keeping track of which of the ports is being operated at any given point in time, a standard single port modem can be reconfigured, for example, at an over clocked rate, to manipulate the data input and output of a modem.
Claims12
1-18. (canceled)
A communication device to support a plurality of modes of operation, wherein:
- during a first mode of operation, the communication device is to concurrently support a first multicarrier access solution and a wireless communications solution, and
- during a second mode of operation, the communication device is to concurrently support a second multicarrier access solution and the wireless communications solution,
- wherein the first multicarrier access solution is to support communication over a bandwidth different from the bandwidth of the second multicarrier access solution.
A method to support a plurality of modes of operation, the method comprising supporting, concurrently, a wireless communications solution and a multicarrier access solution wherein the multicarrier access solution is to support communication on at least one of two different bandwidths.
A method to support a plurality of modes of operation, the method comprising:
- during a first mode of operation, concurrently supporting a first multicarrier access solution and a wireless communications solution, and
- during a second mode of operation, concurrently supporting a second multicarrier access solution and the wireless communications solution,
- wherein the first multicarrier access solution is to support communication over a bandwidth different from the bandwidth of the second multicarrier access solution.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, if implemented by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
- during a first mode of operation, concurrently support a first multicarrier access solution and a wireless communications solution, and
- during a second mode of operation, concurrently support a second multicarrier access solution and the wireless communications solution,
- wherein the first multicarrier access solution is to support communication over a bandwidth different from the bandwidth of the second multicarrier access solution.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, if implemented by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
- support, concurrently, a wireless communications solution and a multicarrier access solution wherein the multicarrier access solution operates over a wireless link that is capable of communicating on one of at least two different bandwidths.
A communication device comprising communication device circuitry operable to support a plurality of modes of operation, wherein:
- during a first mode of operation the communication device is to concurrently support a first multicarrier access solution and a networking solution, and
- during a second mode of operation the communication device is to concurrently support a second multicarrier access solution and the networking solution,
- wherein the first multicarrier access solution operates over a bandwidth different from the second multicarrier access solution.
