Patent number: 9923709Abstract: A method according to an embodiment of the invention includes receiving and transmitting signals over an asymmetric time division duplex (TDD) communication path. Signals are sent over the asymmetric TDD communication path via a first portion of a first frequency band. The first frequency band is adjacent to a second frequency band and to a third frequency band. The first frequency band is different from the second frequency band and from the third frequency band. A synchronous time division duplex (TDD) communication path can be operable in the second frequency band. A frequency division duplex (FDD) communication path can be operable in the third frequency band. Signals are received over the asymmetric TDD communication path via a second portion of the first frequency band that is different from the first portion of the first frequency band.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2017Date of Patent: March 20, 2018Assignee: DISH Network CorporationInventors: Mariam Sorond, Peter Corea, Doug Hyslop, Tom Peters

Publication number: 20170310453Abstract: A method according to an embodiment of the invention includes receiving and transmitting signals over a time division duplex (TDD) communication path. Signals are sent over the TDD communication path via a first portion and are received via a second portion of a first frequency band, wherein the first portion uses a smaller spectrum bandwidth than the second portion. The first frequency band is adjacent to a second frequency band and to a third frequency band. The second frequency band includes a first temporally-asymmetric TDD communication path having a third portion and a fourth portion. The third frequency band includes a second temporally-asymmetric TDD communication path having a fifth portion and a sixth portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 4, 2017Publication date: October 26, 2017Inventors: Mariam Sorond, Peter Corea, Doug Hyslop, Tom Peters
