System and Method for Communication over a Network with Extended Frequency Range

摘要

A communication system comprising a network having a legacy band and an extendable frequency band, a head end, and a user end, wherein said head end processes and splits source data into multiple signals and transmits said multiple signals over multiple physical channels over said extendable frequency band, and wherein said user end containing multiple receivers and a data reconstructor receives said multiple signals and recovers said source data. Another embodiment includes a communication system comprising a network having a legacy band and an extendable frequency band, a head end; and a user end, wherein said user end processes and splits source data into multiple signals and transmits said multiple signals over multiple physical channels over said extendable frequency band and wherein said head end receives said multiple signals and recovers said source data. Other embodiments include methods of communication over a network having a legacy band and an extendable frequency band.
