Systems and methods for maximizing data transmission rates in conjunction with a spatial-multiplexing transmission
First Claim
1. A method for maximizing data transmission rates in conjunction with a spatial-multiplexing transmission, comprising:
- injecting, in a first room, a plurality of 64-QAM (quadrature-amplitude modulation) or higher modulation signals associated with the spatial-multiplexing transmission into a wire-based medium;
transporting the plurality of signals, via the wire-based medium, to a second room;
power-boosting the plurality of signals in the second room to a power level that is above a certain level per each of the plurality of signals; and
transmitting wirelessly the plurality of signals, which are now power-boosted, into the second room, thereby allowing a receiving wireless device located in the second room to receive the plurality of signals at a combined power level that is above −
50 dBm, thereby allowing the receiving wireless device located in the second room to decode the spatial-multiplexing transmission at 64-QAM or higher modulation, thereby facilitating physical data transmission and decoding rates of above 60 Mbps per each of the signals per a signal bandwidth of 20 MHz.

Abstract
An access point is located in a first room together with a local plurality of antennas. A plurality of power boosters are located in a second room together with a peripheral plurality of antennas. A wire-based medium connects the first and second rooms. The access point uses the local antennas to transmit wirelessly, in the first room, a plurality of spatially-multiplexed streams, thereby allowing a receiving wireless device in the first room to decode the streams. The access point injects into the wire-based medium, in the first room, a plurality of signals derived respectively from the streams, which are then transported to the second room. The boosters then power-boost the signals extracted from the wire-based medium in the second room, and the peripheral antennas transmit wirelessly, in the second room, the now-power-boosted signals, thereby allowing another receiving wireless device, in the second room, to decode the same plurality of streams.
