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 from a single information source over a plurality of first non-contiguous narrowband frequency bands/segments, each of which is too narrow to carry the first broadband information from the single information source, so as to transmit the first broadband information from the single information source 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 single information source over a plurality of second non-contiguous narrowband frequency bands/segments, each of which is too narrow to carry the second broadband information from the single information source, so as to receive the second broadband information from the single information source 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.

14. A wireless communications transceiver comprising:
a transmitter that is configured to selectively transmit a first waveform from a single information source over a plurality of first frequency bands/segments that are interleaved with second frequency bands/segments and to selectively bypass the second frequency bands/segments by selectively frequency shifting elements of the first waveform from the single information source. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
