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.

In terms of phasing and attenuation, I'm pretty sure I mentioned that already. As I've said before, that's the easy part.
Getting things synchronized and keeping there is also easy. You act as if the concept of a PLL hasn't been around since forever.
Regarding telephones: Yes, that's a similar problem. It's also a solved problem using rudimentary parts, whereas we have ridiculously-fast DSPs these days. *shrug* (And in other news, AMPS is dead, and cell phones have been much fancier than an FM transceiver for just a little while now...)
Regarding cost: Sheesh. With an attitude like that, it'll be a wonder if this color television thing ever takes off -- the sets are just so expensive.
Needing a transformer to rotate phase? Puh-leeze.
And if you don't want to comment about TDMA and spectral efficiency, why did you bring up TDMA in a discussion about spectral efficiency?
Aaand. Yep, that's enough for me on this thread.
Cheers.
