Abstract
A computing device can determine a radio frequency (RF) bandwidth in which one or more frames are to be transmitted by the computing device. The RF bandwidth is within the operating transmission bandwidth of the computing device. A signal interference having an interference bandwidth can interfere with the transmission of the one or more frames. In response to detecting the signal interference, one or more frames can be transmitted within the operating transmission bandwidth and not within the interference bandwidth.
Claims15
A method for transmitting a wireless signal from a computing device, the method comprising:
- determining a radio frequency (RF) bandwidth in which a plurality of frames are to be transmitted by the computing device, the RF bandwidth being within an operating transmission bandwidth;
- detecting a signal interference that can interfere with transmission of the plurality of frames, the signal interference having an interference bandwidth that is within the RF bandwidth;
- in response to detecting the signal interference, transmitting a first frame of the plurality of frames in a first set of sub-bands within the operating transmission bandwidth and not within the interference bandwidth;
- and
- in response to detecting a change in the signal interference or detecting additional signal interference, transmitting a second subsequent frame of the plurality of frames in a second set of sub-bands within the operating transmission bandwidth and not within the interference bandwidth, the first set and the second set being different.
A computing device comprising:
- a radio module to provide a radio frequency signal;
- two or more antennas including a transmission antenna and a receiving antenna;
- and
- programmable hardware coupled to the radio module and the two or more antennas, the programmable hardware to implement:
- a frequency manager to (i) detect, via the receiving antenna, a signal interference that can interfere with transmission of the one or more frames, the signal interference having an interference bandwidth, and (ii) determine that the interference bandwidth is within a radio frequency (RF) bandwidth in which one or more frames are to be transmitted, the RF bandwidth being within an operating transmission bandwidth;
- a frequency shaper to process a frame so that the processed frame can be transmitted within the operating transmission bandwidth and not within the interference bandwidth;
- and
- a transmitting module to transmit the processed frame via the transmission antenna.
