  • Patent number: 8792465
    Abstract: A method and apparatus are described for transmitting/receiving a Gigabit-Ethernet signal by a high capacity point-to-point radio system. The basic idea consists in transmitting a Gigabit Ethernet interface using a single frequency in a channel plan of about 56 MHz bandwidth. The invention is based on a technology that combines forward error correction, cross polarization interference cancellation (XPIC), base-band signal processing, adaptive equalization and antenna's interconnection. In the best configuration, two carrier frequencies, H and V polarized, are selected in order to have the required bandwidth for easily transporting a Gigabit Ethernet. A proper compression rate can be selected according to the available resources; in case of radio channel failure, the compression rate can be changed. Ethernet frames are mapped by a Generic Framing Procedure encapsulation protocol.

  • Patent number: 8514775
    Abstract: System and method for improving the use of radio spectrum in transmission of data, according to which the payload information of any known line interface is divided into a plurality of data portions of smaller which are then grouped into packets so as to be subsequently radio transmitted. For transmission of such packets, suitable radio channels are selected. The invention also relates to reception of such radio channels having such packets incorporated therein, wherein the received packets are then transformed into payload information for inputting into corresponding line interfaces.

  • Patent number: 8374147
    Abstract: System and method for improving the protecting radio channels in transmission, according to which the payload information of the signal to be transmitted is divided into a plurality of data portions of smaller size which are then grouped into packets and the packets are labeled based on a criterion from among a plurality of criteria, said criterion being indicative of a level of priority associated to said packets. The packets are subsequently radio transmitted in accordance with their level of priority indicated by their associated label.

  • Patent number: 6954619
    Abstract: Described is a method and system for increasing the spectrum efficiency in a radio transmission system. Advantageously, the interference phenomenon is used for transmitting two different signals, by utilizing for each of them carriers at the same frequency, thus obtaining in this way a doubling of the spectrum efficiency. Practically, the same signal is transmitted by two different antennas in order to have two coherent signal sources. On the receiving front, there are points of maximum and minimum of this signal. If the original signal is properly phase shifted with an antenna vis-à-vis the other one, the effect will be to arrange the maxima and minima on the receiving front in a corresponding way. The present invention allows for the use of dual polarization antennas (H and V or any other type of orthogonal polarization) to obtain a still higher spectrum efficiency.
