Overlaying wireless networks
First Claim
1. A radio access provider, comprising:
- one or more processing unit(s);
and one or more computer-readable media having thereon instructions executable to cause the processing unit(s) to perform operations comprising;
receiving, in a first frequency sub-band, control information of a first network having a first type;
transmitting, in a second, different frequency sub-band, control information of a second network having a second, different type;
determining respective channel quality values for individual candidate first-network channels of a plurality of candidate first-network channels based at least in part on second-network usage data of the candidate first-network channels;
selecting a first first-network channel from the candidate first-network channels based at least in part on the channel quality values;
transmitting media information of the first network via the first first-network channel and a second first-network channel, wherein the first and second first-network channels are spaced apart in frequency within a third frequency sub-band; and
transmitting media information of the second network via a second-network channel arranged in frequency between the first and second first-network channels within the third frequency sub-band,so that the first network having the first type and the second network having the second, different type can operate within a single, common band.

Abstract
In some implementations, a radio access provider, e.g., of a wireless telecommunications network, can receive, in a first frequency sub-band, control information of a first network. The provider can transmit, in a second sub-band, control information of a second network. The provider can transmit media information of the first network via first and second first-network channels in a third sub-band and transmit media information of the second network via a second-network channel arranged in frequency between the first and second first-network channels. In some implementations, the provider can select a first channel of the first network for first media; select a second channel of the second network for second media; select additional channels of the first network different in frequency from the second channel; and operate a first transceiver to wirelessly transmit the first media via the first channel and the additional channels.

12. A radio access provider, comprising:
-
a first radio and a second, different radio, wherein the first radio and the second radio are tuned to operate within a common frequency band; one or more antennas connected to at least the first radio or the second radio; and a processor communicatively connected with the first radio and the second radio and configured to perform operations comprising; receiving, via the first radio and in a first frequency sub-band, control information of a first network having a first type; transmitting, via the second radio and in a second, different frequency sub-band, control information of a second network having a second, different type; determining respective channel quality values for individual candidate first-network channels of a plurality of candidate first-network channels based at least in part on second-network usage data of the candidate first-network channels; selecting a first first-network channel from the candidate first-network channels based at least in part on the channel quality values;
transmitting, via the first radio, media information of the first network via the first first-network channel and a second first-network channel, wherein the first and second first-network channels are spaced apart in frequency within a third frequency sub-band; andtransmitting, via the second radio, media information of the second network via a second-network channel arranged in frequency between the first and second first-network channels within the third frequency sub-band, so that the first network having the first type and the second network having the second, different type can operate within a single, common band. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
