Patent ID: 7733839

Claim:
A system for operating with dynamic sockets, comprising: a plurality of communications devices, each of said plurality of communications devices including high band channel radio resources capable of communications at 900-2800 MHz and socket radio resources capable of communications at 30-1000 MHz, said high band channel radio resources and said socket radio resources being significantly separated in frequency so that said high band channel radio resources and said socket radio resources are suitable for concurrent operation with no interference and minimal isolation, co-site problems to solve in said each of said plurality of communications devices, wherein said plurality of communications devices are connected to a unifying mesh network by said high band channel radio resources, said unifying mesh network being suitable for allowing said plurality of communications devices to communicate with one another, and wherein when data needs to be transferred among a group of communications devices selected from said plurality of communications devices, a dynamic socket connection is negotiated on said unifying mesh network and is then formed with said socket radio resources, said dynamic socket formation being suitable for allowing said unifying mesh network to offload continuous receiver-directed or multicast traffic from a channel of said unifying mesh network and to free up public ad hoc communications bandwidth of said unifying mesh network.
