System, Network, Device and Stacked Spectrum Method for Implementing Spectrum Sharing of Multiple Contiguous and Non-Contiguous Spectrum Bands Utilizing Universal Wireless Access Gateways to Enable Dynamic Security and Bandwidth Policy Management

Abstract

A system and method in various embodiments implements a virtual spectrum band stacking technique facilitating spectrum sharing by converting and combining spectrum bands consisting of several different RF channels, common air interfaces, and radio channel protocols in the radio frequency channel domain to form IP Virtual Radio Channels (IP-VRCs) in the packet data domain. This virtual spectrum stacking technique combines the transmissions of contiguous and non-contiguous RF channels with differing physical layers into IP-VRCs. This technique enables simultaneous parallel high-speed wireless transmission; virtual radio channel hopping for enhanced security; and customized security schemes for different IP-VRC Groups. The deployment of the combination of IP-VRC Groups; Universal “Small Cell” Base Stations; and Universal Wireless End-Point Devices allows the aggregation of all available spectrum bands for use within a building environment. Some benefits of this deployment include expansion of spectrum utilization, service quality, security, applications and transmission throughput for wireless end-point devices.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A digital wireless communication system comprising:
 one or more digital radio processors; and   at least one memory coupled with at least one or more of the digital radio processors, wherein the at least one memory is configured to provide the at least one or more of the digital radio processors with instructions which when executed cause the at least one or more digital radio processors to:
 create one or more high-speed virtual radio channels which performs high-speed bandwidth services within a channel spectrum stacking system for use in the digital wireless communication system, the channel spectrum stacking system being configured to transmit and receive signals using a plurality of channels with a frequency band, common air interfaces, and radio channel protocols that are separated in frequency using at least one of link, network, and transport layer packet combining, wherein the frequency band is selected from a plurality of frequency bands; and 
 form communication channels within a communication transport domain for use in the channel spectrum stacking system by simultaneously combining transmissions of contiguous channels, non-contiguous channels or a combination thereof with at least one of the selected frequency band, differing common air interfaces, and differing radio channel protocols such that the communication channels within the communication transport domain comprises two or more individual adjacent or non-adjacent radio channels.
