Wireless Multimedia System

Abstract

Methods and systems for a novel multi-media macro-network. A Picon media server is connected with variety of high data rate sources including high definition video and audio connections. Picon media server is configured to process the variety of data streams into lower data rate IP packets and dynamically transmit them wirelessly via plurality of channels and antennas to variety of Picon receivers which are configured to congregate the received data packets into the correct signal formats for specific displays.

         11 . A method for operating a wireless multimedia macro-network, comprising the actions of:
 receiving variety of multi-media datastreams with a media server;   processing said multi-media datastreams into plurality of data packets by said media server;   prioritizing and scheduling said data packets;   transmitting said packets wirelessly in accordance with their priority and schedule; and   receiving wirelessly said transmitted packets with a media adapter,   reverse processing said data packets into data streams; and   sending said datastreams to a sink.   
     
     
         12 . A method of  claim 11 , further comprising actions of:
 dynamically allocating transmitting channels according to their respective statistics of their performance.   
     
     
         13 . A method of  claim 11 , further comprising the actions of:
 inputting configuration criteria through a user interface.   
     
     
         14 . A method of  claim 13 , wherein said user interface is located on a cellular phone. 
     
     
         15 . A method of  claim 11 , further comprising:
 after wirelessly receiving said data packets,   examining for packet losses; and   inserting an estimated packet.   
     
     
         16 . A method of  claim 11 , wherein multi-media comprises media data from plurality of sources including high definition video streams, high definition audio streams, analog TV signals, gaming data, interne content, IPTV signals, satellite signals and/or the combination thereof. 
     
     
         17 . A method of  claim 11 , wherein said packets are IP data packets. 
     
     
         18 . A method of  claim 11 , wherein said wireless transmitting complies with IEEE 802.11n standards. 
     
     
         19 . A method of  claim 11 , wherein said wireless transmitting is implemented in accordance with the 3G Code Division Multiple Access standards. 
     
     
         20 . A method of  claim 11 , A method for operating a wireless multimedia macro-network, comprising the actions of:
 receiving variety of multi-media datastreams with a media server;   processing said multi-media datastreams into plurality of data packets by said media server;   prioritizing and scheduling said data packets;   transmitting said packets wirelessly in accordance with their priority and schedule; and   receiving wirelessly said transmitted packets with a media adapter,   reverse processing said data packets into data streams; and   sending said datastreams to a sink;   wherein said stream of uncompressed and encrypted multimedia data is processed in parallel by plurality of media multiplexing converter.   
     
     
         21 - 50 . (canceled) 
     
     
         51 . A method for wireless media transmission, comprising:
 receiving input signals of multiple types which can include a high-bandwidth multimedia signal type which is of higher bandwidth than others of said types;   processing said high-bandwidth multimedia signal, if received, into multiple digital channels, and transmitting said multiple channels wirelessly in parallel,   receiving said multiple channels, and reassembling said multiple channels into a data stream which generally corresponds to said multimedia signal which is then outputted.
