Abstract

A wireless monitoring receiver and system use multiple video data feeds from a plurality of cameras. The video feeds are transmitted using a multi-antenna technique, and decoded by a multi-antenna processor. The resulting transmissions are resistant to noise, interference, etc., and can be focused using antenna beams to achieve a simple form of location encryption.

Claims (27)

1. A method comprising:

receiving signals transmitted from a first location at a second location, the signals comprising M independently-modulated data-bearing signals;

processing the M independently-modulated signals using a channel matrix and a separately recovered data signal to extract the data from the data-bearing signals; and

storing the data from the data-bearing signals.

2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

processing the data transmitted from N radio module transmitters simultaneously.

3. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving the data transmitted via N separate antennas simultaneously as N separate bit streams.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the data from the data-bearing signals includes video data.

5. An apparatus comprising:

means for receiving signals transmitted from a first location at a second location, the signals comprising M independently-modulated data-bearing signals;

means for processing the M independently-modulated signals using a channel matrix and a separately recovered data signal to extract the data from the data-bearing signals; and

means for storing the data from the data-bearing signals.

6. The apparatus according to claim 5 , further comprising:

means for processing the data-bearing signals received from N radio module transmitters simultaneously.

7. The apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the data-bearing signals correspond to signals transmitted via N separate antennas simultaneously as N separate bit streams.

8. The apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the data from the data-bearing signals includes video data.

9. An apparatus comprising:

at least two receiving modules to receive signals transmitted from a first location at a second location, the signals comprising M independently-modulated data-bearing signals; and

a processing module to process the M independently-modulated signals using a channel matrix and a separately recovered data signal to extract the data from the data-bearing signals.

10. The apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the processing module includes:

at least two Fourier transform processors coupled to process outputs from the at least two receiving modules; and

a matrix multiplier coupled to process outputs of said Fourier transform processors.

11. The apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the matrix multiplier is further to receive said separately recovered data signal.

12. The apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the data-bearing signals are to be received from N radio module transmitters simultaneously.

13. The apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the data-bearing signals correspond to signals transmitted via N separate antennas simultaneously as N separate bit streams.

14. The apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the data from the data-bearing signals includes video data.
