  • SPECTRUM ALLOCATION SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MULTI-BAND WIRELESS RF DATA COMMUNICATIONS
    Publication number: 20170164210
    Abstract: A dual band spectrum allocation system and method for wireless data communications uses discrete bands for upstream and downstream data communications. A preferred embodiment uses unlicensed UNII bands for license-free data transmissions from a subscriber to a hub, and uses relatively interference free licensed bands for data transmissions from a hub to subscribers, thereby allowing use of greater bandwidth, simplifying system licensing and reducing filtering requirements for subscribers.
    Type: Application
