FRONT-END MODULE AND ANTENNA DESIGN FOR A WIRELESS DEVICE SIMULTANEOUSLY USING WLAN MODULES OPERATING IN DIFFERENT WIRELESS BANDS

摘要

Systems and methods for enabling a WLAN client to communicate simultaneously over more than one band at a time are described, where each client has at least one radio that is operational in each supported band. Load balancing based on traffic requirements optimizes the use of the multiple bands.

主权项

1. A wireless apparatus comprising:
a first radio configured to transmit and receive radio frequency (RF) signals in a first wireless band; a second radio configured to transmit and receive RF signals in a second wireless band, wherein the first wireless band is distinct from the second wireless band; and a first processor configured to use the first radio and the second radio simultaneously to communicate with a wireless device using a local area network protocol, wherein use of the first radio and the second radio to communicate with the wireless device advantageously effects communications with the wireless device as compared to using only the first radio or only the second radio.
