Patent ID: 8073398

Claim:
A method of adjusting a transceiver comprising: for a boundary between adjacent spectrum blocks with differing operations: a) adjusting at least one transition band of a filter in a transmitter of the transceiver; and b) adjusting at least one transition band of a filter in a receiver of the transceiver, wherein, for a), adjusting at least one transition band of the filter in the transmitter of the transceiver comprises: in a first configuration, placing a transition band of the filter's at least one transition band on a first side of the boundary between the adjacent spectrum blocks; and in a second configuration, placing the transition band on a second side of the boundary between the adjacent spectrum blocks, wherein, for b), adjusting at least one transition band of the filter in the receiver of the transceiver comprises: in the first configuration, placing a transition band of the filter's at least one transition band on the first side of the boundary between the adjacent spectrum blocks; and in the second configuration, placing the transition band on the second side of the boundary between the adjacent spectrum blocks, and wherein, for a) and b), placing the transition band is based on an active channel assignment for one or more of the adjacent spectrum blocks to accommodate utilization of edge channels in the adjacent spectrum blocks.
