APPARATUS FOR WIRELESS CONNECTIVITY USING SOFTWARE MODEM

摘要

The invention relates typically, but not exclusively, to wireless communication technology. More specifically, but not exclusively, it relates to a computing system and method using a computer host and wireless connectivity such as based on Wireless LAN or Bluetooth. The invention also relates to a new architecture using a software modem for implementing a wireless communication system having a host and a transceiver device. The wireless communication system is based on a new functional partitioning. A part of the original functionality of the transceiver device is moved to a software program running on the host. As a consequence, the hardware cost of the transceiver device is reduced and the system flexibility is increased since it now, at least partly, based on a software solution.
