Abstract:
1. A method of constructing a wireless high speed backbone connection that unifies various wired/wireless network clusters by means of employing a smart/adaptive antenna technique and dynamically creating concurrent data pipelines for providing a high-speed data link based on the smart/adaptive antenna and concurrent data pipeline that unifies various wired/wireless network clusters, comprising: means for parsing an original packet with a bit slicing technique to create multiple lower data rate packets, which can be transferred via concurrent lower data rate backbone connection facilitator (bcf) data pipelines; means for constructing a high-speed payload by merging a number of lower data rate packets with a bit/byte/word-wise multiplexing technique for the purpose of concurrently transferring multiple packets via a signal bcf channel; means for parsing and merging a number of low data rate and high data rate original packets to create an evenly distributed high speed payload for the backbone pipelines with the purpose of optimizing the power dissipation and increasing the channel occupancy rate; means for providing a single channel wireless backbone connection between two ‘short-range wired/wireless network’ clusters within a home or small office by means of a beam forming technique; means for providing a multi-channel wireless backbone connection from a ‘-short-range wired/wireless network’ cluster to two or more other ‘short-range wired/wireless network’ clusters for the purpose of simulcasting, broad casting, and/or multicasting the same or different data within a home or a small office using a number of independent bcf pipelines; means for providing a multi-channel wireless backbone connections from one ‘short-range range wired/wireless network’ cluster to another ‘short-range wired/wireless network’ cluster for the purpose of increasing the data transfer rate between any two ‘short-range wired/wireless network’ clusters within a home or small office by increasing the number of concurrent bcf pipelines; means for the local backbone connection facilitator (bcf) recognizing a new wired/wireless device within a home or small office, and registering into the local bcf that serves as the ‘short-range wired/wireless network’ cluster that contains the new device; means for a local bcf notifying other bcfs within the home about the new device, and other bcfs registering the new device; means for deciding that the packet to be transferred is in a bcf format; means for converting the received bcf packets to short range packets to identify a destination address of the packet; means for comparing the packet protocol of a source and destination devices to see if protocol conversion is needed before delivering the packet to the destination device; means for converting short-range packets to bcf packets for inter ‘short-range wired/wireless network’ cluster transfer; and means for a local bcf converting the received bcf packet protocol to the destination packet protocol for inter ‘short-range wired/wireless network’ cluster communication, or converting the source device protocol to the destination device protocol for intra ‘short-range wired/wireless network’ cluster.
