Abstract: A method for ubiquitously covering a selected area with a single wireless communication channel. At least two wireless converters are placed at different locations to provide an aggregated wireless coverage area, the wireless converters covering wirelessly only a respective portion of a selected area with least two portions at least partially overlapping. An OFDM base station transmits a sequence of OFDM signals simultaneously via at least two distribution lines, each OFDM signal modulated by sub-carriers. The wireless converters simultaneously receive, via respective distribution lines, the OFDM signals from the OFDM base station, and up-convert a respective OFDM signal into an RF band to re-transmit wirelessly the respective OFDM signal. At least two re-transmissions of each OFDM signal arrive at a wireless client device.

Abstract: A shared wired-based medium is deployed inside a vehicle, so as to interconnect various in-vehicle communication components such as radio transmitters, radio receivers, antennas, and processors. The shared wired-based medium is used by each of the communication components to send and receive intermediate-frequency (IF) signals to and from at least one of the other communication components, thereby implementing an efficient in-vehicle IF communication bus, in which each of the IF signals may be a frequency-shifted version of an original signal produced by one of the communication components, and in which such IF signal, after being transported by the shared wired-based medium, is extracted from the shared wired-based medium by at least one of the other communication components, which in turn frequency-shifts the extracted IF signal into a respective radio-frequency (RF) signal capable, for example, of being wirelessly transmitted outside of the vehicle.
