CENTRALIZED BROADBAND GATEWAY FOR A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a centralized broadband gateway for a wireless communication system, including a router/gateway module which receives encoded compressed audio/video (A/V) streams and distributes the encoded compressed audio/video A/V streams; multiple audio/video decoders which receive the encoded compressed A/V streams from the a router/gateway module, decode the encoded compressed A/V streams, and output uncompressed A/V streams; and an integrated Wireless High Definition Multimedia Interface (WHDMI) which receives the uncompressed A/V streams from the multiple audio/video decoders and transmits the uncompressed A/V streams wirelessly to media devices, without deploying individual media processors at each media device. Other embodiments are disclosed.

1. A gateway, comprising:
a processing system including a processor; and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
receiving encoded compressed audio/video streams;decoding the encoded compressed audio/video streams to generate uncompressed audio/video streams; andproviding the uncompressed audio/video streams to a plurality of media devices, wherein each media device of the plurality of media devices comprises a wireless high definition multimedia interface to receive an uncompressed audio/video stream of the uncompressed audio/video streams, and wherein a respective uncompressed audio/video stream is displayed without accessing a media processor at a respective media device of the plurality of media devices.
