US 9,320,040 B2 · Method and device for sending/receiving electromagnetic signals received/sent on one or more first frequency bands

Abstract

In order to send electromagnetic signals received on one or more first frequency bands, the method applies a transformation to the signals, by performing the following actions: selecting first frequency sub-bands, forming a first set of frequency sub-bands of the first frequency band(s); using organization rules to associate one or more second sets of frequency sub-bands, forming one or more second frequency bands, with each first frequency sub-band of the first set; and using optimization rules to determine frequency translations to transpose the signals received in the first frequency sub-bands into signals sent in the second frequency band(s).

Dependent claims

A method for transmitting electromagnetic signals received in one or more first frequency bands, comprising:

selecting first frequency sub-bands as a first set of frequency sub-bands of the first frequency band(s);
in accordance with organizational rules, associating with each of the first frequency sub-bands of the first set, one or more second sets of frequency sub-bands of one or more second frequency bands;
and
determining, for each of the first frequency sub-bands selected, frequency translations for transposing the signals received in the first frequency sub-bands to signals transmitted in the second frequency band(s) in order to defragment the first set of frequency sub-bands in the second frequency band(s) by reducing width of the second frequency band(s).
