Patent ID: 7346040

Claim:
A wireless space-time fast modem system for transmitting data between two or more user interfaces at high transfer rates comprising: a first modem means and a second modem means interconnected by a conventional wireless telecommunications link, whereby each of said first modem means and second modem means further comprises: (a) single antenna means; (b) two or more multiple input/multiple output (MIMO) space-time wireless transceiver means; (c) an antenna array reduction or expansion chamber associated with said two or more MIMO space-time wireless transceivers; and (d) a frequency spectrum shifting module associated with said two or more MIMO space-time wireless transceivers; whereby said first modem means and said second modem means act as a high speed transmitter and a high speed receiver of data transferred between two user interfaces through the conventional wireless telecommunications link; and further wherein said first modem acts as a space-time transmitter, and further includes one or more output channels, at least one of which transmits forward correction coding; said one or more output channels includes a back channel which receives feedback from said second modem means relating to said forward correction coding, and thereby receives signal to noise information and bit error rate information to facilitate requests to retransmit corrupt data packets; and said second modem acts as a space-time receiver, and further includes one or more input channels, at least one of which receives forward correction coding transmitted by said first modem means.
