Patent ID: 7610017

Claim:
A method for increasing data rate transmissions of a wireless communication, the method comprises: processing data at a media access control (MAC) level at a combination of a wireless communication standardized data rates to produce MAC processed data; encoding the MAC processed data at a rate corresponding to the combination of the wireless communication standardized data rates to produce high rate encoded data; dividing, at M-bits per division, the high rate encoded data into a plurality of encoded data streams, wherein a number of the plurality of encoded data streams is N, wherein N is an integer greater than one and M is an integer greater than or equal to one; and individually interleaving each of the plurality of encoded data streams to produce N streams of interleaved data; processing each of the N streams of interleaved data into a plurality of signals at baseband or near baseband, wherein a number of the plurality of signals is N; converting each of the plurality of signals into a plurality of radio frequency (RF) signals; and transmitting the plurality of RF signals in accordance with the wireless communication standardized data rate on a plurality of RF channels.
