Patent ID: 7523209

Claim:
A method for transmitting data utilizing a radio transceiver comprising a plurality of configuration registers and a medium access controller (MAC) coupled to the transceiver, comprising: providing configuration information from the MAC to the configuration registers, the configuration information being specific to a selected application and to a selection between primary channels and secondary channels having differing bus widths and operating frequencies; writing the configuration data defining the bus width and the operating frequency of the selected primary or secondary channels to the configuration registers of the transceiver; checking for a data-transmit time window to send over-the-air data; in response to being outside the time window to send the over-the-air data, checking for a configuration write pending, checking for a configuration read pending, and checking for any transmission; checking for another data-transmit time window to send data; and in response to being within the configuration-transmit time window, sending channel designation information for the configuration write, obtaining an address information for the configuration write, sending the address information for the configuration write, obtaining configuration data for the configuration write, and sending the configuration data for the configuration write.
