Abstract

A method and apparatus in which multiple Internet Protocol (IP) based wireless data transmissions are simultaneously provided between a wireless device and a server, including providing multiple antennas, multiple T/R units, multiple processors and multiple I/O ports on the wireless device. The method includes receiving multiple IP data packets on the I/O ports at substantially the same time, and sending multiple data packets from the wireless device to the server, whereby the transmission rate between the wireless device and the server is increased.

Claims (44)

1. A wireless communication device comprising:

a plurality of antennas; and

a communication component coupled to the plurality of antennas, the communication component including a processor, a transmitter, and a receiver,

wherein one or more subtasks are assigned to one or more channels, and the one or more channels are sampled and clocked individually; and

wherein the processor comprises multiple ones of the one or more channels and is further configured to process a first data stream and a second data stream in parallel.

6. The device of claim 5 , in communication with a server configured with a controller in communication with a plurality of network devices wherein the server supervises the connection of a plurality of wireless devices.

7. The device of claim 6 , wherein the device operates with a plurality of streams including a first stream and a second stream and multipath communication.

8. A wireless communication device comprising:

a plurality of antennas; and

a communication component coupled to the plurality of antennas, the communication component including a processor, a transmitter, and a receiver,

wherein the communication component includes at least one additional receiver;

wherein the receiver is configured to receive using a first communication protocol and the at least one additional receiver is configured to receive using a second communication protocol, wherein the first communication protocol is different than the second communication protocol; and

wherein one or more subtasks are assigned to one or more channels, and the one or more channels are sampled and clocked individually; and

wherein the processor comprises multiple ones of the one or more channels and is further configured to process a first data stream and a second data stream in parallel.

9. The device of claim 8 , wherein the device is enabled to operate on a plurality of frequencies including a higher frequency and lower frequencies.

10. The device of claim 9 , wherein the device is enabled to communicate with a network device server, said server comprising a plurality of antennas sequentially or simultaneously.

11. The device of claim 10 , wherein the device is a cellular telephone with multiple processors and further multiplex incoming and outgoing wireless signals.

12. A wireless communication device comprising:
