Title: Communication system
Inventor: JAGDEEP AHLUWALIA SINGH
IPC: H04W88/10
Filed: 2014-06-12
Abstract: A co-located LTE base station and an non-LTE access point (i.e. Wi-Fi, WLAN ) module for providing wireless connectivity to a communication network to one or more mobile communication devices within range of the modules; an co-operative interface for coupling the base station module and the access point module for communicating co-operation requests between the two transceivers. The method of co-operation between the two transceivers may be channel restriction, power restriction, intelligent uplink scheduling operation, carrier frequency reselection operation or a traffic steering operation, where traffic from one transceiver is offloaded to the other transceiver. A first transceiver may enter an energy save mode and communicate this to the second transceiver through the co-operative interface, which is then allowed to transmit over the full frequency band range. Once the first transceiver emerges from the energy save mode, and communicates this to the second transceiver, the channel restrictions on the second transceiver are reapplied (see Figs 10a&b). The transceivers may be mounted within a common housing or just proximate.
