Abstract
A method for data transmission over first and second media that overlaps in frequency includes computing one or more time division multiple access (TDMA) time-slot channels to be shared between the first and second media for data transmission; allocating one or more time-slot channels to the first medium for data transmission; allocating one or more of the remaining time-slot channels to the second medium for data transmission; and instructing transceivers for the first and second media to communicate only in their allocated time-slot channels.
Claims16
A method for data transmission over first and second media that overlap in frequency, comprising:
- computing one or more time division multiple access (TDMA) time-slot channels to be shared between the first and second media for data transmission;
- allocating one or more time-slot channels to the first medium for data transmission;
- allocating one or more of the remaining time-slot channels to the second medium for data transmission;
- and
- dynamically adjusting a number of time-slot channels assigned to one of the first and second media during the data transmission to remain within limits of a desired level of service.
A method for data transmission over first and second media that overlap in frequency, comprising:
- selecting one of the first and second media as a common medium;
- instructing transceivers for the first and second media to communicate only through the common medium;
- and
- retrying a packet transmitted through the common medium at a lower rate if the packet is not acknowledged after transmission at a first rate.
An apparatus comprising:
- a processor;
- a first transceiver coupled to the processor to communicate via a first medium;
- a second transceiver coupled to the processor to communicate via a second medium, wherein at least one of the first transceiver and the second transceiver is to retry transmission of a packet at a lower rate if a prior transmission of the packet is not acknowledged;
- and
- a circuit to dynamically allocate time-slot channels to one of the first medium and the second medium based upon a desired level of service.
