UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS DONGLE DEVICE WITH WIRELESS TELEPHONY TRANSCEIVER AND SYSTEM FOR USE THEREWITH
First Claim
1. A universal serial bus (USB) dongle device comprising:
- a wireless telephony transceiver that receives an inbound RF signal and that generates inbound data based on the inbound RF signal and receives outbound data and that generates an outbound RF signal in response thereto;
a USB plug for connecting to a host device;
a USB controller circuit coupled to format the inbound data in the USB format for communication to the host device and to recover the outbound data from outbound data received in the USB format from the host device; and
a millimeter wave interface, coupled to the wireless telephony receiver and the USB controller circuit, including a first millimeter wave transceiver coupled to the wireless transceiver and a second millimeter wave transceiver coupled to the USB controller circuit that wirelessly communicates the inbound data and the outbound data between the wireless telephony receiver and the USB controller circuit.

Abstract
A universal serial bus (USB) dongle device includes a wireless telephony transceiver that receives an inbound RF signal and that generates inbound data based on the inbound RF signal and receives outbound data and that generates an outbound RF signal in response thereto. A USB plug is connectable to a host device. A USB controller circuit formats the inbound data in the USB format for communication to the host device and to recover the outbound data from outbound data received in the USB format from the host device. A millimeter wave interface includes a first millimeter wave transceiver coupled to the wireless transceiver and a second millimeter wave transceiver coupled to the USB controller circuit that wirelessly communicates the inbound data and the outbound data between the wireless telephony receiver and the USB controller circuit.
