Title:
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR HIGH DATA RATE TRANSMISSION IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2002023745
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
In a wireless communication system (32) a method for high data rate transmission aggregates information signals processed by at least two modems (38, 40, 42), wherein the modulated information signals are transmitted using two carrier frequencies. The method provides multiple data transmissions concurrently over a broad bandwidth consistent with single transmission air-interface standards. An apparatus, mobile unit (34), includes a multi-link (ML) protocol processor (36) that aggregates the information signals from the modems modems (38, 40, 42) into a point-to-point protocol (PPP) format for interface with conventional data-based systems, such as the internet. The ML processor (36) further receives an aggregate bundle and separates the bundle into its constituent parts for modulation by the modems (38, 40, 42).
