Abstract
A transmitter and a receiver for communicating data using at least two separate RF channels using channel bundling. The transmitter includes a data stream partitioner configured to partition a data stream of data to be communicated into two or more stream partitions, two or more modulators configured to each receive a stream partition and to generate modulated data from the received stream partition, and an interleaver configured to assign the modulated data generated by a modulator from a received stream partition to different RF channels for transmission.
Claims27
A transmitter for communicating data using at least two separate RF channels, the transmitter comprising:
- a data stream partitioner configured to partition a data stream of data to be communicated into two or more stream partitions,
- two or more modulators configured to each receive a stream partition and to generate modulated data from the received stream partition, and
- an interleaver configured to assign the modulated data generated by a modulator from a received stream partition to different RF channels for transmission.
A transmission method for communicating data using at least two separate RF channels, the transmission method comprising:
- partitioning a data stream of data to be communicated into two or more stream partitions,
- receiving a stream partition by each of two or more modulators,
- generating modulated data from the received stream partition, and
- assigning the modulated data generated by a modulator from a received stream partition to different RF channels for transmission
A receiver for receiving data of a data stream via at least two separate RF channels, the receiver comprising:
- a deinterleaver configured to receive data of a received data stream via at least two separate RF channels, wherein the data of stream partitions of the data stream are transmitted via the at least two RF channels, and to assign the data belonging to the same stream partition transmitted via different RF channels to different demodulators,
- two or more demodulators configured to each receive data of a stream partition and to generate demodulated data from the received data of the stream partition,
- a data stream combiner configured to combine the demodulated data of the two or more demodulators into the data stream.
A receiving method for receiving data of a data stream via at least two separate RF channels, the receiving method comprising:
- receiving data of a data stream via at least two separate RF channels, wherein the data of stream partitions of the data stream are transmitted via the at least two RF channels,
- assigning the data belonging to the same stream partition transmitted via different RF channels to different demodulators,
- receiving data of a stream partition by each of two or more demodulators
- generating demodulated data from the received data of the stream partition, and
- combining the demodulated data of the two or more demodulators into the data stream.
