Abstract
A method and system are provided. The system includes a communication system including a first transmitter/receiver operating on a first frequency and a second transmitter/receiver operating on a second frequency. The system also includes a controller monitoring at least one of interference and throughput on the first and second transmitter/receiver and shifting demand based on the monitoring.
Claims22
A method for multiple input multiple output (MIMO) multi-frequency transmission of data by a MIMO radio comprising a first and second set of antennae, wherein the first and second set of antennae each comprise a vertically polarized antenna and a horizontally polarized antenna, the method comprising:
- transmitting or receiving data on the first set of antennae using a first frequency;
- and
- transmitting or receiving the data on the second set of antennae using a second frequency.
A multiple input multiple output (MIMO) radio, comprising:
- a processor;
- a memory for storing multi-frequency transmission logic;
- a first set of antennae comprising a first vertically polarized antenna and a first horizontally polarized antenna;
- a second set of antennae comprising a second vertically polarized antenna and a second horizontally polarized antenna;
- wherein the processor executes the multi-frequency transmission logic to cause the first set of antennae to transmit or receive data using a first frequency, and the second set of antennae to transmit or receive the data using a second frequency.
A wireless network, comprising:
- a plurality of MIMO radios, each comprising:
- a processor;
- a memory for storing multi-frequency transmission logic;
- a first set of antennae comprising a first vertically polarized antenna and a first horizontally polarized antenna, the first set of antennae being configured to transmit or receive data using a first frequency;
- a second set of antennae comprising a second vertically polarized antenna and a second horizontally polarized antenna, the first set of antennae being configured to transmit or receive data using a first frequency which is different from the first frequency;
- and
- wherein a first portion of the MIMO radios are configured to transmit data using their first and second sets of antennae, while a second portion of the MIMO radios are configured to receive data from the first portion of the MIMO radios using their first and second sets of antenna.
