In general, this is achieved by increasing the amount of energy introduced into the communication medium, but the level is limited to the existing rules in different countries; in the case of airborne media, this energy is strongly spread in one or two rooms. Therefore, these regulations only allow a certain emission sufficient to ensure a connection of up to 100 meters (with a defined bandwidth). In reality, the presence of obstacles and the distribution of furniture means that wireless connectivity does not guarantee sufficient bandwidth for multimedia applications, such as high-definition video, throughout the home, so alternative solutions are needed in practice. Other systems in the development of technology that attempt to find such solutions, such as the use of hybrid power lines/wiFi networks, such as those appearing in patent No. US 62,434, and the disclosure of the patent number 2 〇〇 6〇 194575 In the patent. In some of these documents, the Korean shot was exclusively implemented in the air media, 129766.doc 200904036: Up, wireless communication between the system devices under consideration. While these systems provide an effective solution, the final adaptation of the frequency of each medium must be achieved by using heterodyne in one body, which adds cost and limits the functionality of the solution. In addition, the system proposed in this patent uses a series of terminals connected to the conductive network and other terminals of the wireless type together with the possibility of connection between the two terminals, and the same signal is injected into different media. There are no frequency changes to avoid the drawbacks of developing technology solutions.

The interface is for injecting a communication signal to a power line; wherein the injection interface for the signal is provided with a module for distributing the energy of the communication signal via the power line and via the air medium that is fired by the power line . The module for power distribution includes a component that enhances the unbalance effect of the power line to increase the portion of the signal in the common mode that produces electromagnetic radiation that begins with the transmitted signal. Furthermore, the component that enhances the imbalance effect of the power line, in turn, provides a means for varying the likelihood of changing the ratio between conduction and radiant energy, which performs an adjustment between the two ratios. From the point of view of reception, the receiver forming the communication system is provided with a receiving module for signals passing through the power line, a receiving module equipped for transmitting signals via the air medium, or equipped with the two modules. 129766.doc 200904036 Similarly, from the perspective of the transmission, and due to the possibility of providing a ratio between conduction and radiant energy, the present invention provides for the passage of power lines, left-to-two media, or via the two The possibility of a signal transmitted by the media. ~ Month 匕 Finally, the communication system may also contain means for forwarding the received signals to extend the coverage of the communication system. In the following, in order to facilitate a better understanding of the specification and the invention in its entirety, the drawings are to be construed as illustrative and not limiting. [Embodiment] An example of an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the numbers used in the drawings. As described earlier, the main problem with communication at home today is to achieve a sufficient bandwidth connection for multimedia applications because WiFi applications do not produce such results due to limitations in light, distance and distribution in the home. In the example of this embodiment, the unknown system is used at home to improve the s without three different devices (1), (7) and (7). The first two use the force line (4) as the transmission medium, and (1) only use the air medium as the receiving two body. Each of the systems includes: a transmitter equipped with a corresponding modulator) '- a receiver (6) equipped with a corresponding demodulator; a control (two control transmitters (7) and a receiver (4); Unit (8):: mouth early (8) to strengthen the imbalance effect of the power line, the signal and modify the proportion of the power injected through the power line and the power of the distribution network radiating = 129766.doc 200904036, the role of the same radiating element. Radiation (labeled (9) in the figure) is an intentional radiation caused by a signal injected into the power line (4) and it will be able to be received by the information that can be received from the airborne media. The 彳s number does not interfere with previous communication systems that use radio communication frequencies, and the system injects the signal into the power line in a frequency band that is not authorized for use. These frequencies are public and do not require prior government approval for transmitting RF signals. (In other words, the frequency used to transmit signals via the power line in a conducting manner, and the frequency of the radiated signal) are the same, so no need for frequency Conversion or similar add-on to permit communication between devices connected to or not connected to the power line. In Figure 1, two devices (1) and (2) inject their signals into the power line, albeit using The line has the radiating properties, but the two devices (1) and (2) also radiate the nickname. The nickname of the round can be picked up by a device that is not directly connected to the power line but has an RF pick-up system, like a device. (3) In this case, the received signal is directly transmitted to the demodulator (6), and the control module (7) controls the coupling unit (8) to block the output signal, resulting in the modulator. (5) The signals are not coupled to the output. On the other hand, Figure 2 shows the opposite case. In this case, the device (3) that is not connected to the power line emits - the RF signal (10), due to the RF The signal (1〇) is coupled to the nearby power distribution network, causing the devices (1) and (2) to pick up the RF signal (10). In this case, the signal received by # is taken directly from the power line (4) And the control group (7) controls the f-coupling unit (8) to Locking the wheel branch. 129766.doc 200904036 Another embodiment is described in Figure 3, in which the network device (11) is formed (even if the device is not sensitive to a device (1)), the physical connection to the power line is The device (11) has the ability to communicate information with other devices, so that the portion of the network that does form a logical basis on the logical basis is that the device of this type has a co-demodulation transformer (6) and can utilize =3. The power distribution line intentionally transmits irregular irregularities and arrives at each channel with the same data in the same channel. However, it is distorted in different ways to achieve correct reception even with low signal levels. In order to finally, in Fig. 4, another embodiment (12) is shown. The device (12) contains: a medium, a central device, and a line for receiving the different squares. 'And - an additional connection to the power line (4), 1 allows the two to receive the same signal that is distorted by the characteristics of the network, where the calculation (1) is used in the demodulation (6) right, ° 匕Combining multiple receptions with H rate and recovering the combination of signals used to improve reception is known as the negotiation (multiple input and multiple output) technology. In this case, the control module (7) controls the coupling of a single θ-West "() so that no signal is transmitted, but: Γ:: may provide a specific coupling to be selected for it to affect the reception Signals (not depicted in the figure). All of these embodiments of the proposed communication signal may exist in the same network in the home. Figure 5 represents - will go to Ray W, / where devices 〇 3) to (9) are connected θ , # to empty f media or connect to the two media, and (22), wide reference to different parts of the room (room or corridor). Ray:: In the example, the device located in the room (23) (13 Injecting a signal into the power line and the actual distribution network is lightly ignited in the room, which causes communication between the split (13) of the side room (23) and the device (14) between the 129766.doc -10- 200904036 Possible. As the power distribution network is routed through the common wall between the phase (23) and the room (24), the distribution network will also radiate in the phase (24), which will pay for the device ( 13) communication with devices (15) and (16), in part, due to radiating elements, The (15) and (10) can communicate with each other by transmitting and receiving the RF antennas in the air medium. The power distribution network is also routed through a common wall between the room (23) and the corridor (22), so the power distribution The net is also lightly directed towards the corridor. Here, the device (9) can receive the communication transmitted by the device (13) (4) through the wall and the latter can use the radio frequency to forward the message, which can be located in the corridor (22) and the room (Μ) The power distribution network between the wall armor is picked up. The signals picked up and transported by the power distribution network are received by the devices (10) and (2) and received by the device (29) via the radio frequency. (18) =装置) is placed in the room (26) and the device (29) is in the room (25) but both rooms are adjacent to the corridor (22). The device (20) has two radiating elements for The communication channel collects information that is affected in different ways, and intelligently combines or processes the information by different algorithms to obtain the maximum signal rate relative to the possible noise in the reception. If the technology is added, the fact is that Power line wiring The signal of the shot differs depending on the point of the line, so the device (2〇) is in-position to use a technique that utilizes a known channel, such as MIM〇 (Multiple Input Multiple Output), to improve its reception. In the example, the communication channel has multiple inputs (irradiation at all points of the power line are not equal) and multiple outputs to the number of antennas installed in the device, in this case two days I29766.doc 200904036 line) -=The device (21) in the phase (27) is double-connected via the power line and the device, and the two versions of the transmitted information are received and allowed to be 4a by the algorithm. The different method is taken from two to four in a sufficiently uncorrelated manner, and the noise of the channel is not changed. [Figure is a simple description] Figure 1 represents the transmission of the power line and the use of Φ ^ The medium media is an example of an embodiment of the third device received. Figure 2 shows an example of the opposite of the previous figure, where Daniel is transmitted via the air and received via the power line. Figure 3 represents an example of a device having multiple antennas. Figure 4 shows a variety of antennas and an example. Figure 5 is a diagram of a device in which the main power line is connected, wherein the communication system can be used at home to assemble different devices as described.
