Patent ID: 8817826

Claim:
A method comprising the steps of: spreading a first frequency spectrum of at least a first lower bandwidth asynchronously clocked communication link such that high frequency noise is injected into said first frequency spectrum that can be filtered by a receiver, wherein said first frequency spectrum is a frequency of packets to be transmitted on said first lower bandwidth asynchronously clocked communication link; spreading a second frequency spectrum of at least a second lower bandwidth asynchronously clocked communication link such that high frequency noise is injected into said second frequency spectrum that can be filtered by a receiver, wherein said second frequency spectrum is a frequency of packets to be transmitted on said second lower bandwidth asynchronously clocked communication link; and subsequent to said steps of spreading said first and second frequency spectra of said at least first and second lower bandwidth asynchronously clocked communication links, aggregating said at least first and second lower bandwidth asynchronously clocked communication links into one of a higher bandwidth link and a higher bandwidth interface, using multiplexing equipment, wherein said aggregating step further comprises the step of scheduling a transmission of said packets from said first and second lower bandwidth asynchronously clocked communication links to avoid collisions on said higher bandwidth link, wherein said scheduling is based on said injected high frequency noise.
