Single transceiver architecture for a wireless network
First Claim
1. A repeater for a wireless network comprising:
- a transceiver operable to receive data in a 2.4 GHz band or a 5 GHz band, and transmit data in either the 2.4 GHz band or the 5 GHz band, the transceiver also being operable to switch channel frequency in the 2.4 GHz or the 5 GHz bands;
a processor unit coupled to control the transceiver;
a RAM memory device to store data received by the transceiver.

Abstract
A network for wireless transmission of data includes a source access point, a destination device and a plurality of wireless repeaters that provide a transmission link between the source access point and the destination device. The plurality of access points each includes a single transceiver with separate transmitter and receiver sections operable to simultaneously transmit and receive data on different frequency channels. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract that will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.

10. A wireless network comprising:
-
a source device that transmits data on a first channel;
a destination device that receives data on a second channel; and
a plurality of repeaters to provide a pipelined data transmission link between the source device and the destination device, each of the repeaters having a transceiver with a transmitter and a receiver operable to transmit and receive data on different channels, each of the repeaters being located beyond an in-band interference range, yet within a maximum bandwidth range, of adjacent repeaters in the transmission link. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A wireless network comprising:
-
a source device that transmits data packets on a first channel;
a destination device that receives data packets on a second channel; and
a plurality of repeaters to provide a pipelined data transmission link between the source device and the destination device, each of the wireless repeaters having a transceiver with a transmitter and a receiver operable to transmit and receive data on different channels, the plurality of repeaters including a first repeater to receive a first data packet from the source device on the first channel and transmit the first data packet to a second repeater on a different channel, and a last repeater to receive the first data packet from a penultimate repeater and transmit the first data packet to the destination device on the second channel, and wherein each of the repeaters is located beyond an in-band interference range, yet within a maximum bandwidth range, of adjacent repeaters in the transmission link. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21)

22. A wireless network comprising:
-
a source device;
a destination device; and
a plurality of repeaters to provide a pipelined data transmission link between the source device and the destination device, even numbered repeaters in the pipelined data transmission link having a transceiver that receives on one frequency channel and switches to another frequency channel to transmit, odd numbered repeaters in the pipelined data transmission link having a transceiver that receives and transmits on a single frequency channel, each of the repeaters being located beyond an in-band interference range, yet within a maximum bandwidth range, of adjacent repeaters in the pipelined data transmission link. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)

30. A wireless network comprising:
-
a source device;
a destination device; and
a plurality of repeaters to provide a pipelined data transmission link between the source device and the destination device, each of the repeaters having a transceiver operable to receive data packets on one channel and re-transmit the data packets on two different channels simultaneously to a next repeater in the pipelined data transmission link, each of the repeaters being located beyond an in-band interference range, yet within a maximum bandwidth range, of adjacent repeaters in the pipelined data transmission link. - View Dependent Claims (31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38)
