Abstract
A communication system comprising a multi-protocol, multi-bearer sub-system is described herein. The sub-system is a universal platform module that can transmit and receive one or more information signals in one or more protocols using one or more bearer services. In one embodiment, the sub-system may form a portion of a transceiver that is composed of a transmitter and a receiver, and which is a gateway server between a personal area network (PAN) and the global wireless network.

11. A method for performing simultaneous multi-platform operations, comprising:
-
(1) controlling at least one multi-platform module to communicate with at least one of a plurality of communication links using a control module having a plurality of standard/protocol sub-modules, wherein the at least one multi-platform module includes a plurality of transceivers each having at least one frequency translation module, wherein said at least on frequency translation module comprises a switch configured to operate according to an energy transfer signal, and to sub-sample and transfer energy from a first electromagnetic (EM) signal, and a storage module coupled to said switch and configured to store said transferred energy, wherein a second EM signal is generated from said stored energy, said second EM signal having a freciuency different from said first EM signal; (2) operating a first transceiver in conformance with a first protocol/standard combination using a first standard/protocol sub-module; and (3) operating a second transceiver in conformance with a second protocol/standard combination using a second standard/protocol sub-module. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
