Claim Text:
1. A system, comprising: a multi-mode communication unit for wireless communication, wherein the multi-mode communication unit allocates access for a time based communication mode and a frequency based communication mode; a first RF/analog front end, wherein the multi-mode communication unit using the time based communication mode is provided at least in part using the first RF/analog front end; a second RF/analog front end, wherein the multi-mode communication unit using the frequency based communication mode is provided at least in part using the second RF/analog front end; and a processor configured to implement at least in part the multi-mode communication unit, wherein the multi-mode communication unit allocates access for communication by operating a TDD Downlink (TDD DL) communication mode and a TDD Uplink (TDD UL) communication mode in an FDD Uplink (FDD UL) carrier frequency, using a first carrier frequency for FDD UL and TDD DL/UL, and using a second carrier frequency for FDD Downlink (FDD DL), and wherein within the first carrier frequency, using a time division multiplexing (TDM) frame structure to separate FDD DL communications from TDD DL and TDD UL communications.
