Abstract:
1. A client module comprising: a first transceiver module for bidirectionally communicating with a multimedia server module by receiving a first radio frequency (RF) signal at a first carrier frequency from the multimedia server module and converting the first RF signal into a first baseband signal and by transmitting a third RF signal to the multimedia server module at the first carrier frequency; a second transceiver module for bidirectionally communicating with the multimedia server module by receiving a second RF signal at a second carrier frequency from the multimedia server module and converting the second RF signal into a second baseband signal and by transmitting a fourth RF signal to the multimedia server module at the second carrier frequency; a recombination module, operably coupled to the first transceiver module and the second transceiver module, for combining the first baseband signal and the second baseband signal into an output signal; and a decoder module, operably coupled to the recombination module, for decoding the output signal into a decoded output signal; wherein the first transceiver module and the second transceiver module operate in accordance with a communication protocol that includes a plurality of first channels in a first frequency band and a second plurality of channels in a second frequency band that is separated in frequency from the first frequency band and wherein the first carrier frequency corresponds to one of the plurality of first channels and the second carrier frequency corresponds to one of the plurality of second channels.
