1. A method performed on a computing device that includes a radio receiver, the method comprising:
- receiving, via the radio receiver over a plurality of subchannels, a radio signal comprising a first modulated portion comprising a first plurality of parallel streams of first data and a second modulated portion comprising a second plurality of parallel streams of second data;
demodulating, by the computing device, the first modulated portion and the second modulated portion resulting in the first plurality of parallel streams of the first data and the second plurality of parallel streams of the second data;
converting, by the computing device, the first plurality of parallel streams of the first data to a serial version of the first data; and
converting, by the computing device, the second plurality of parallel streams of the second data to a serial version of the second data.

Abstract
Methods and apparatuses for Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) communication of non-OFDM radio signals are disclosed. The non-OFDM radio signals are force-modulated into OFDM signals. In one example, a non-OFDM signal is received and is processed into an OFDM signal to produce a created OFDM signal. An actual OFDM signal is also received and is processed together with the created OFDM signal.

8. A computing device comprising:
-
a radio receiver via which the computing device receives a radio signal comprising a first modulated portion comprising a first plurality of parallel streams of first data and a second modulated portion comprising a second plurality of parallel streams of second data; a demodulator via which the computing device demodulates the first modulated portion and the second modulated portion second resulting in the first plurality of parallel streams of the first data and the second plurality of parallel streams of the second data; and at least one processor via which the computing device converts the first plurality of parallel streams of the first data to a serial version of the first data and also converts the second plurality of parallel streams of the second data to a serial version of the second data. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. At least one memory that comprises computer-readable instructions that, based on execution by a computing device that includes at least one processor, memory, a demodulator, and a radio receiver, configure the computing device to perform actions comprising:
-
receiving, via the radio receiver over a plurality of subchannels, a radio signal comprising a first modulated portion comprising a first plurality of parallel streams of first data and a second modulated portion comprising a second plurality of parallel streams of second data; demodulating, by the demodulator, the first modulated portion and the second modulated portion resulting in the first plurality of parallel streams of the first data and the second plurality of parallel streams of the second data; converting, by the at least one processor, the first plurality of parallel streams of the first data to a serial version of the first data; and converting, by the at least one processor, the second plurality of parallel streams of the second data to a serial version of the second data. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
