Method and system for providing diverse multiple carrier aggregation
First Claim
1. A wireless device comprising:
- an antenna;
a plurality of transmitters, at least two of which operate in different frequency bands; and
a hybrid combiner configured to;
accept carrier signals at different frequency bands;
combine the carrier signals into a combined carrier signal;
provide the combined carrier signal to the antenna for transmission; and
receive multiple carrier signals in different frequency bands from multiple wireless base station transmitters.

Abstract
Embodiments of systems and methods are presented to provide diverse multiple channel aggregation for wireless broadband edge devices with existing wireless technologies. A method and apparatus for supporting aggregation of multiple diverse RF carriers are disclosed. A wireless edge device capable of transmit and receiving on multiple diverse RF carriers using one or multiple wireless standards A wireless edge device may utilize carrier aggregation using the same radio access scheme with different frequency bands and possibly different rf bandwidths. Additionally a wireless edge device which can utilize different radio access schemes with different frequency bands. The radio access scheme and the frequency bands that the wireless edge device can use may be provided by one wireless network operator or by multiple wireless network operators.
