Broadband wireless communications systems and methods using multiple non-contiguous frequency bands/segments
First Claim
1. A wireless communications transceiver comprising:
- a transmitter that is configured to selectively frequency shift and transmit portions of first broadband information over a plurality of first non-contiguous narrowband frequency bands/segments, each of which is too narrow to carry the first broadband information, so as to transmit the first broadband information over the plurality of first non-contiguous narrowband frequency bands/segments; and
a receiver that is configured to receive and selectively frequency shift portions of second broadband information from a plurality of second non-contiguous narrowband frequency bands/segments, each of which is too narrow to carry the second broadband information, so as to receive the second broadband information over the plurality of second non-contiguous narrowband frequency bands/segments.

Abstract
Wireless communications transceivers include a transmitter that is configured to selectively frequency shift and transmit portions of broadband information over multiple non-contiguous narrowband frequency bands/segments, each of which is too narrow to carry the broadband information. A receiver also is configured to receive and selectively frequency shift portions of broadband information from multiple non-contiguous narrowband frequency bands/segments, each of which is too narrow to carry the second broadband information. Broadband information thereby may be transmitted and received in a regulated communications environment, even though a given provider may only be assigned discontinuous frequency bands/segments, none of which is wide enough to carry the entire broadband information.
