Patent ID: 6898207

Claim:
A system for effectively increasing transmission throughput by transmitting Hermite-Gaussian packets over a transmission medium, the system comprising: a receiving mechanism for receiving an incoming stream of digital information on one or more incoming lines, the digital information being in a binary format of “0”s and “1”s, and using the digital information to provide a stream of “no-play” and “play” commands; a signal generation mechanism equipped to generate a plurality of Hermite-Gaussian waveform components; a switching mechanism, coupled to the signal generation mechanism, for applying “no-play” and “play” commands to at least one Hermite-Gaussian waveform component of a set of Hermite-Gaussian wavefrom components, wherein the at least one Hermite-Gaussian waveform component is generated by the signal generation mechanism, such that a plurality of Hermite-Gaussian waveform components generates a Hermite-Gaussian packet, and a plurality of Hermite-Gaussian packets comprises a Hermite-Gaussian information stream; and a transmission mechanism for transmitting the plurality of Hermite-Gaussian packets over the transmission medium.
