Abstract
Methods and apparatuses for interfacing between broadband wireless communication systems and Local Area Network (LAN) systems are disclosed herein. For instance, the method can include receiving wireless data formatted according to the LAN protocol. The LAN-formatted data can be converted to a broadband wireless communication protocol (e.g., a wide area network, a cellular telephone communication network, a broadband satellite communication network, or a combination thereof) to generate broadband protocol data. Further, the broadband protocol data can be transmitted to one or more wireless devices.
Claims18
A method comprising:
- receiving wireless data formatted according to a local area network (LAN) protocol;
- converting the wireless data from the LAN protocol to a broadband wireless communication protocol to generate broadband protocol data;
- and
- transmitting the broadband protocol data to one or more wireless devices.
An apparatus comprising:
- a first transceiver configured to receive wireless data formatted according to a local area network (LAN) protocol;
- a converter configured to convert the wireless data from the LAN protocol to a broadband communication protocol to generate broadband protocol data;
- and
- a second transceiver configured to transmit the broadband protocol data to one or more wireless devices.
