Patent ID: 7965982

Claim:
An apparatus, comprising: a single transceiver configured to operate in a first operational mode corresponding to a first wireless link type, and a second operational mode corresponding to a second wireless link type based on operational parameters of the transceiver, the transceiver receiving a wireless message across a wireless network in the first wireless link type, for reservation of spectrum in the second wireless link type to increase data transfer rate, the message containing information indicating a particular configuration of the transceiver corresponding to the second wireless link type; and a controller coupled to the transceiver, configured to selectively activate one of the first and second operational modes of the transceiver by changing the operational parameters of the transceiver to adjust characteristics of the transceiver according to one of the first and second operational modes, by setting the operational mode of the transceiver based on the information in the wireless message; said transceiver including a transmitter portion configured to receive one or more operational parameters from the controller, the transmitter portion including a digital to analog converter having a sampling rate that is determined by one of the one or more operational parameters, said transceiver further including a receiver portion configured to receive one or more operational parameters from the controller, the receiver portion including an analog to digital converter having a sampling rate that is determined by one of the one or more operational parameters; wherein the first and second operational modes operate at a different data rate.
