Patent ID: 6944118

Claim:
A system for increasing digital data throughput by transmitting Time-and-Frequency-Bounded function packets over a transmission medium, wherein the Time-and-Frequency-Bounded functions are smooth functions, which have a limited extent in both the time domain and the frequency domain beyond which the amplitude of the product of the function and any polynomial is negligible or at least lower than a predetermined threshold value, the system comprising a transmitter, comprising: a digital receiving mechanism to receive an incoming stream of digital information on at least one incoming digital lines, the digital information being in a binary bit format of “0”s and “1”s, a weighing mechanism to generate respective weighing factors using the digital information; a signal generation mechanism equipped to generate a plurality of Time-and-Frequency-Bounded functions; a mapping mechanism, coupled to the signal generation mechanism, to apply weighing factors generated by the weighing mechanism to a corresponding Time-and-Frequency-Bounded function, and subsequently summing the weighted Time-and-Frequency-Bounded functions to thereby generate a corresponding plurality of Time-and-Frequency-Bounded packets, the plurality of Time-and-Frequency-Bounded packets comprising a Time-and-Frequency-Bounded information stream; and a transmission mechanism to transmit the plurality of Time-and-Frequency-Bounded packets over the transmission medium.
