MULTI-GIGABIT WIRELESS TUNNELING SYSTEM

摘要

A disclosed wireless tunneling system tunnels communications between two processing apparatuses through a wireless link, while maintaining compliance of the communications between the two processing apparatuses with a wired communication protocol. In one embodiment, the wireless tunneling system includes two wireless tunneling apparatuses that communicate with each other through the wireless link. A local wireless tunneling apparatus is coupled to a local processing apparatus through a wired connection and a remote wireless tunneling apparatus is coupled to the remote processing apparatus through another wired connection. In one aspect, the local wireless tunneling apparatus predicts a state of the remote processing apparatus, and mirrors the predicted state of the remote processing apparatus. Mirroring the state based on the prediction enables high speed data rate tunneling between the two processing apparatuses through the wireless link without a delay associated with the wireless tunneling apparatuses affecting the high speed data rate tunneling.

主权项

1. A local wireless tunneling apparatus that operates in conjunction with a remote wireless tunneling apparatus to wirelessly tunnel communications between a remote processing apparatus and a local processing apparatus while maintaining compliance of the communications between the remote processing apparatus and the local processing apparatus with a wired communication protocol, the local wireless tunneling apparatus comprising:
a wireless receiver configured to receive a wireless receive signal from the remote wireless tunneling apparatus, the wireless receiver to downconvert the wireless receive signal to generate a baseband signal from the wireless receive signal; a processing component state machine configured to predict a remote processing state of the remote processing apparatus based on the baseband signal; and an interface circuit coupled to the local processing apparatus, the interface circuit configured to (i) generate an output signal conforming to the wired communication protocol based on the predicted remote processing state and the baseband signal and (ii) provide the output signal to the local processing apparatus through the wired communication protocol.
