Wireless communication using multiple frequencies segments

A device comprising:

• processing hardware configured to select a first frequency segment and to select a second frequency segment that is different from and non-contiguous with the first frequency segment;
• baseband circuitry coupled to the processing hardware and configured to encode a first signal with a data frame and to encode a second signal with the data frame;
• and
• front-end circuitry coupled to the baseband circuitry and configured to shift the first signal to a first frequency segment and to shift the second signal to a second frequency segment for wireless transmission over one or more antennas such that at least a portion of the first signal and a portion of the second signal are simultaneously wirelessly transmitted.

A method of wireless communication, the method comprising:

• wirelessly obtaining a first signal encoded with a data frame using a first frequency segment;
• wirelessly obtaining a second signal encoded with the data frame using a second frequency segment that is different from and non-contiguous with the first frequency segment, at least a portion of the first signal and a portion of the second signal being simultaneously obtained;
• decoding the first signal to obtain a first copy of the data frame;
• decoding the second signal to obtain a second copy of the data frame;
• determining an integrity of the first copy of the data frame and an integrity of the second copy of the data frame;
• and
• in response to the integrity of the first copy of the data frame and the integrity of the second copy of the data frame being maintained:
• discarding the first copy of the data frame;
• and
• providing the second copy of the data frame as a received data frame.
