HIGH SPEED SELF ORGANIZING (MULTI) ROUTE AND (MULTI) FREQUENCY PACKAGE SWITCHED WIRELESS NETWORK WITH

ERROR CORRECTION

5 FOREWORD

This invention relates to Local Area Networks (LAN), and describes a method for implementing and controlling devices in a wireless environment in the most efficient way possible.

BACKGROUND

Current technological wireless inventions such as WiFi, described as the 802.11 standard, have to do with an inefficient method of network structure and forwarding of (data) packages. By using a single channel, the connection can never be guaranteed and the channel quickly becomes overcrowded with (data) packages due to inefficient use and handling of (data) packages. As a result, interference occurs and packets no longer arrive and / or no longer reach the node / receiver properly, with the result that the signal is interrupted or (data) loss occurs, the so-called "hidden-20 node" effect. In addition, this error is not corrected by the base station or access point because it does not have error correction handling. A base station also sees no difference between bad and good nodes. Usually, a bad node can disrupt the entire network, causing every receiver / node to suffer. This means that the performance can collapse drastically, accompanied by enormous delays and a lot of data loss. As a result, such a protocol cannot be used for commercial purposes.

To prevent this, a new invention has been devised that replaces and / or corrects the current negative points as described above.

SUMMARY OF THIS INVENTION

It is acknowledged herein that many of the disadvantages in wireless technologies arise because of the diversity of communication needs to which these systems are developed. Some data flows require delivery and / or real-time bandwidth in order to use the available spectrum as efficiently as possible. Other data streams do not require a high bandwidth and can therefore tolerate delay. This so-called correction signal has the following properties such as checking, correction, protection, identification, (dynamic) route tables 1027100 2 and other settings. The design of a system that can meet this need is the development of a system that can bundle several channels and can receive and / or display them separately. In the present invention, at least two types of wireless channels can co-exist. A primary channel (C2) used for sending slide packets, and a secondary channel (C4) used for retrieving data packets, and a control channel (CO) which provides general control of the network, this channel requires generally does not support high speed transfer packages, but is reliable, secure and possesses the characteristics of control, correction, security, identification, dynamic routing and settings. This control is usually managed from a single point, also called (central) base station (20). Each channel can be created individually to provide data to one or more points if necessary. (Data) packets can also be separated from at least one base station and / or switch / repeater (22) in order to be bundled via different channels with one or more receivers / nodes (24, 26, 28, 30).

In a related aspect of the invention, a method for operating a wireless network device, explained in more detail below. This method consists of communicating over one and / or multiple channels with a (wireless) base station (20) or switch / repeater (22) over a wireless protocol. The method further comprises responding commands issued over the channel along the base station, including an order to handle it efficiently through the available channel. Each sent or received (data) package will be provided with an identification number in order to keep packages separate from each other. The handling of these packages in the base station will also proceed as efficiently as possible, whereby a series of sent and received packages are handled individually.

In another aspect of the invention is a wireless base station (20). The base station consists of a data modulator / demodulator which is suitable for sharing digital data with other receiving stations / nodes (24, 26, 28, 30). The base station also contains a so-called manager who can exercise (package) control. This manager has control over aspects that are passed on to network devices via the modulator / demodulator over the wireless channels. These aspects include the transfer of control, correction, security, identification, (dynamic) route tables and other settings that are assigned individually for each user.

In yet another aspect of the invention, the radio of the network device is revealed. This device consists of a data modulator / demodulator for bi-directional 1 0 27 1 0 0 3 data communication with a base station over one or more channels. This device further comprises a data modulator which is capable of transferring data over multiple channels that can transmit and receive data at high speed over the control channel. The device is coupled to the base station or node via the control channel and can receive / send data via a modulator / demodulator.

In a further aspect of the invention, a local radio that amplifies and transmits the signal consists of at least two wireless network devices, each device capable of sending and receiving bi-directional data, thereby amplifying each transmitted signal 10. The device is also suitable for receiving data packets through multiple channels and sending / receiving them bundled.

EXTENDED FINDING SUMMARY

Through the following description, several terms have certain meanings. A spectrum is a range of available frequencies, although the range does not have to be adjacent to a frequency. Like the term channel used herein, this is a communication channel or a sub-channel used to transport digital information. A channel is not limited to a specific modulation scheme. Two or more channels can be used to make multiple channels suitable for (data) packages. In the channels (data packets can be transported in various ways, either in sections over one or more channels. It is recognized herein that, among other things, which features are desirable in a wireless network such as; 1) to divide the capacity over multiple channels; 2) the capacity to send via a single channel, and to receive via a single channel; 3) bundling the capacity of multiple channels, so that data speeds of tens of megabits per second or even higher data speeds can be achieved; 4) avoid the capacity of sources of interference; 35 5) keeping reliable, secure network control, management and configuration central; 6) a capacity to use for various protocols, such as Voice over IP.

The above applications can be operated within the network, or in some cases all of these options. When executed according to the description, designated channels may be provided with (data packets of one or more protocols, which are supported by a universal radio interface to receive / send digital data in almost every possible device).

This infrastructure is suitable for both small applications (home use) but also for large applications (national use). Various other options will be detailed below. All devices in this infrastructure are based on reception 10 and / or transmission over one or more channels. It includes at least one receive signal (C4), send channel (C2) and a control channel (CO). The receiving channel can receive data at high speeds and through different channels. The sending channel can send data at high speeds and through different channels. The control channel receives / sends the control, correction, security, identification, (dynamic) route tables and other settings. The send and receive signal generally reaches the transport of data packets at high speed according to channels in the spectrum or a bundle thereof. These channels must fall in the wireless GHz spectrum (such as one of the ISM bands or other frequency options). By having more spectrum, more data can be sent and received. In the first approach, for high reliability and long distance, the control channel can be classified into a lower spectrum than the receive / send signals, usually on a higher spectrum. The receive / send signals are optimized by data from the control channel via one device to the other device. A device can establish a uni-directional, point-to-point connection between one or more devices and thereby amplify the signal. The connection can also be established bi-directionally. Each device also takes control channel data and transports it within the network.
