Allocation of unlicensed frequency bands for a wireless hotspot
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- aggregating, at a first user equipment, connections in at least one of a first unlicensed frequency band and a second unlicensed frequency band with a connection in a licensed frequency band to form a wireless backhaul connection to the first user equipment; and
selectively allocating, at the first user equipment, a third unlicensed frequency band to a tethering connection that provides wireless connectivity to a second user equipment, wherein the third unlicensed frequency band is selectively allocated in response to the third unlicensed frequency band having a predetermined level of isolation from the licensed frequency band and the at least one of the first unlicensed frequency band and the second unlicensed frequency band.

11. User equipment comprising:
-
a transceiver to aggregate connections in at least one of a first unlicensed frequency band and a second unlicensed frequency band with a connection in a licensed frequency band to form a wireless backhaul connection to the user equipment; and a processor to selectively allocate a third unlicensed frequency band to a tethering connection that provides wireless connectivity to at least one other user equipment, wherein the processor is to selectively allocated the third unlicensed frequency band in response to the third unlicensed frequency band having a predetermined level of isolation from the licensed frequency band and the at least one of the first unlicensed frequency band and the second unlicensed frequency band. - View Dependent Claims (12, 20)
