Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2001059993
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Systems and methods including a wireless communications device that consists of a collection of one or more processing elements, optionally forming a computer cluster, that together carry out the functions necessary to exchange information over a plurality of wireless communications links, wherein the communication links may employ different communication protocols, respectively. The systems and methods combine two techniques: the use of multiple flexible processing elements, and a design in which each of the elements can carry out any part of the processing performed by the device, including without limitation the physical, MAC, link, network, transport, and presentation layer processing.
