Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A system and method for providing the ability to discover the capabilities of a user's computer to determine whether it is capable of supporting more than one wireless protocol simultaneously is provided. A computing device's capabilities (including, for example, hardware and/or software capabilities) is checked to determine if it supports at least two specific wireless protocols and checking a computing device's capabilities (including, for example, hardware and/or software capabilities) is checked to determine if it supports both wireless protocols simultaneously. The techniques for determining the computing device's compatibility may include comparing lists of protocol requirements to lists of system capabilities and/or generating test signals by the system according to the protocol.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A software defined radio (SDR)-enabled wireless device comprising: programmable circuitry; software encoded on at least one computer-readable storage to program the programmable circuitry to implement an SDR; system parameters indicating capabilities of the programmable circuitry and/or the software of the SDR-enabled wireless device; a verification module that, when executing, responds to the SDR-enabled wireless device attempting or requesting concur…
