International Classification:

H04L012/66

US Classification:

370401000

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for implementing wireless internet connections for a plurality of portable computing devices located within a given area or hotspot. The invention employs a combination of wired and wireless links to manage propagation effects of the transmitted signal and to reduce interference with signals transmitted in adjacent spaces. In accordance with one aspect of the invention, the existing wiring infrastructure at the hotspot, which may be coaxial cable for CATV, is used as the wired segment. A broadband signal, containing internet data obtained from a central computer, is transmitted from a plurality of access points. The signals transmitted from the access points are injected onto the existing wiring, with the broadband signal isolated from the data or power signals carried by the wiring infrastructure. At the outlet ends of the coaxial cable, the broadband signals are separated from the existing data or power signals and coupled to high efficiency antennas which radiate a signal throughout the corresponding living or activity space. In the case of a hotel room, for example, the signal is broadcast for reception anywhere within the hotel room. In accordance with one aspect of the method of the invention, the broadband signals are broadcast from the various access points using several carrier frequencies or channels, and distribution of the channels is arranged to avoid adjacent room same channel interference.
