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.

It may be almost forgotten due to the flood of bad patents, but a patent is not meant to protect a concept, but a specific invention, that is a non-obvious implementation of the concept.
The Tao of math: The numbers you can count are not the real numbers.
