According to an article from The Register, a team from Stanford University has patented technology that could halve the bandwidth that a mobile provider needs.
Operating under the name Kumu Networks, they are showcasing tech which they claim would exactly double throughput. Radio equipment (such as mobile phones) would be able to send and receive on the same frequency through a process similar to noise-cancelling headphones; by knowing what a base station is transmitting it can cancel out the information from the very faint signal it receives.

I'm not a robot like you. I don't like having disks crammed into me... unless they're Oreos, and then only in the mouth.

But this time it's on mobile devices!
Just like, those of us who are old enough to remember the dot-com bubble remember, all those patents for obvious prior art, but on the Internet!
Next it will be a wave of patents leveraging big data!
Yes, my country has a stupid patent system. I'm kind of embarrassed about it. I wrote to my Senator, but she hasn't got around to fixing it yet.
