Method and system for broadband near-field communication (BNC) utilizing full spectrum capture (FSC) supporting bridging across wall
First Claim
1. A method for communication, the method comprising:
- in a communication system comprising a first broadband wireless device and a second broadband wireless device, wherein each of said first broadband wireless device and said second broadband wireless device is operable to communicate signals at a power level that is below a spurious emissions mask;
generating a digital power spectrum across a plurality of frequency bands, wherein a first frequency band of the plurality of frequency bands is allocated, by a regulatory body, for signals of a first type and a second frequency band of the plurality of frequency bands is allocated, by a regulatory body, for signals of a second type, wherein the signals of the first type adhere to a first one or more standards for far-field communications and the signals of said second type adhere to a second one or more standards for far-field communications;
selecting a portion of the first frequency band and a portion of the second frequency band according to the power level of the power spectrum relative to the spurious emissions mask, wherein the portion of the first frequency band is outside of the second frequency band and the portion of the second frequency band is outside of the first frequency band; and
wirelessly communicating near-field signals, in the portion of the first frequency band and the portion of the second frequency band, from said first broadband wireless device to said second broadband wireless device when a barrier separates said first broadband wireless device from said second broadband wireless device, wherein the near-field signals are generated by magnetic field induction.

Abstract
A communication system may include a first broadband wireless device and a second broadband wireless device. Signals may be wirelessly communicated from the first broadband wireless device to the second broadband wireless device at a power level that is below a spurious emissions mask. The communicated signals may be transmitted over a designated frequency band. A barrier separates the first broadband wireless device from the second broadband wireless device. The first broadband wireless device may be paired with the second broadband wireless device. Usable channels may be detected within a frequency spectrum band designated for use by the first and the second broadband wireless device. The signals may be wirelessly communicated from the first to the second broadband wireless device via one or more of the detected usable channels. Two or more of the plurality of the detected usable channels may be aggregated and utilized for the communication.
