Abstract:
1. A multiservice communication device comprising: at least one transceiver that wirelessly transceives data with selected ones of a plurality of networks in accordance with a corresponding plurality of network protocols; an environmental monitoring receiver that processes received RF signals over a broadband spectrum to search for areas of unused spectrum via spectral monitoring of network spectrum corresponding to each of the plurality of networks and that generates environmental data in response thereto, wherein the environmental data identifies the areas of unused spectrum and corresponding ones of the plurality of networks and wherein the environmental data further includes an identification of undesired channels, based on an analysis of noise and interference; and a processing module, coupled to the at least one transceiver and the environmental monitoring receiver that processes the environmental data and generates at least one control signal in response thereto, the at least one control signal for adapting the at least one transceiver based on the environmental data.
