Abstract
A system capable of operation with dynamic sockets includes a plurality of communications devices. Each of the plurality of communications devices includes high band channel radio resources capable of communications at 900-2800 MHz and socket radio resources capable of communications at 30-1000 MHz. The high band channel radio resources and the socket radio resources are significantly separated in frequency so that the high band channel radio resources and the socket radio resources are suitable for concurrent operation with no interference and minimal isolation, co-site problems to solve in each of the plurality of communications devices. The plurality of communications devices are connected to a unifying mesh network by the high band channel radio resources. The unifying mesh network is suitable for allowing the plurality of communications devices to communicate with one another. When data needs to be transferred among a group of communications devices, a dynamic socket connection is negotiated on the unifying mesh network and is then formed with the socket radio resources. The dynamic socket formation is suitable for allowing the unifying mesh network to offload continuous receiver-directed or multicast traffic from the unifying mesh network channel and to free up public ad hoc communications bandwidth of the unifying mesh network.
