Apparatus and method for effectively implementing a wireless television system
First Claim
1. An apparatus for implementing a wireless base station system, comprising:
- a subsystem processor coupled to said wireless base station system, said subsystem processor being configured to process a program source to thereby generate a processed stream;
a communications processor coupled to said subsystem processor, said communications processor being configured to manipulate said processed stream to thereby produce a transmitter-ready stream; and
a radio-frequency transmitter device coupled to said communications processor, said radio-frequency transmitter being configured to wirelessly transmit said transmitter-ready stream.

Abstract
An apparatus and method for effectively implementing a wireless television system may include a communications processor and a transmitter device that combine at least one of a local-area network interface, a wide-area network interface, and one or more television data interfaces for effectively performing a wireless network transmission process. A transmitted stream from the wireless television system may be received via wireless network processing for viewing local-area network data, wide-area network data (such as Internet data), or television data by flexibly utilizing various electronic devices such as a notepad personal computer, a personal digital assistant (PDA), or a handheld TV remote control device.
