Communication System and Method

Abstract

A wireless communication system and method. A wide-band analog signal is digitally sampled to form a digital replica. The digital replica is transmitted over a wireless channel using a subset of available narrow-band channels that may or may not be contiguous. Signal parameters may be dynamically adjusted in order to utilize particular portions of the spectrum when those portions of the spectrum are not being used. Channels are selected on a sample by sample basis and multiple channels may be selected simultaneously in order to dynamically increase bandwidth when vacant channels are available. Thus, the data rate is increased on a bandwidth-available basis.
