Embedded meta-carrier with spread spectrum via overlaid carriers

摘要

A communication method for embedding a meta-carrier under an original carrier signal with reduced or minimal original carrier signal degradation, the method comprising transmitting an original carrier signal by a transmitter, forming a meta-carrier signal separate from the original carrier signal that contains meta-data about the original carrier signal including one or more characteristics of the original carrier signal configured for use by a receiving device to establish one or more parameters of a receiving device to receive the original carrier signal at the receiving device, and transmitting the meta-carrier signal by the transmitter separate from the original carrier signal such that the meta-carrier signal occupies at least a portion of a bandwidth of the original carrier signal.

1. A communication method for embedding a meta-carrier under a carrier signal, the method comprising:
forming a composite carrier comprising a meta-carrier signal combined with an original carrier signal, the composite carrier being formed after the meta-carrier signal is modulated and after the original carrier signal is modulated separate from the meta-carrier signal, wherein the meta-carrier signal contains information about the original carrier signal including one or more characteristics of the original carrier signal, the information configured for use by a receiving device to establish one or more parameters of a receiving device to receive or process the original carrier signal at the receiving device; wherein the meta-carrier signal is extractable at the receiver without demodulating the original carrier signal, wherein the meta-carrier signal is transmitted such that the meta-carrier signal occupies at least a portion of a bandwidth of the original carrier signal.
