Abstract
An asymmetric wireless network () includes a first base station () including a RF transceiver () having a first transmission range, a first transmit data rate, and a first coverage area. The wireless network also includes a second base station () comprising a RF transmitter () having a second transmission range, a second transmit data rate, and a second coverage area. In the wireless network, the second transmit data rate is greater than the first transmit data rate, the first and the second transmission ranges are substantially equal, and the first and the second coverage areas at least partially overlap. The wireless network also includes at least one computer network () communicatively coupling the base stations, configured for generating transmit data in response to a data request received at the first base station, and configured for routing the transmit data to the first or the second base station for transmission.
