Patent ID: 8457182

Claim:
A system for processing a signal in order to integrate services for both narrow bandwidth and wide bandwidth portions of the signal, the system comprising: interface circuitry for receiving the signal; and at least one processor communicatively coupled to the interface circuitry, the at least one processor operable to, at least: receive digitized samples of the signal, wherein the digitized samples represent frequency components of the signal in a first bandwidth; split the digitized samples to produce digitized samples representing frequency components of a low band signal having a second bandwidth and digitized samples representing frequency components of a high band signal having a third bandwidth; process the digitized samples of the low band signal with a first function, to produce digitized samples of a first processed signal; process the digitized samples of the high band signal with a second function different from the first function, to produce digitized samples of a second processed signal; combine the digitized samples of the first processed signal and the digitized samples of the second processed signal, thereby resulting in digitized samples of a combined processed signal, wherein combining comprises up sampling and adding; and transmit the digitized samples of the combined processed signal over a communication medium.
