Abstract

Methods and apparatus for using WLAN chips, e.g., WiFi communications chips, to support communications in licensed frequency spectrum which is located outside unlicensed frequency spectrum available for unlicensed WiFi communications, are described. Through the use of low cost WiFi communications chips in frequency bands for which they were not originally intended, low cost communication is achieved in licensed frequency bands. Multimode devices are also possible in which communications may be implemented in either the licensed or unlicensed frequency band using a single WLAN transceiver chip.
