Single radio serving multiple wireless links

A computing device (such as a computer gaming console) uses only a single radio to concurrently communicate with a wireless network access point and wireless client devices such as game controllers or peripherals. To establish and maintain both a high-throughput link with the access point, and a low-latency link with the client device(s), the single Wi-Fi radio of the computing device is configured to periodically switch between a channel used for the high-throughput link and a different channel that is used for the low-latency linkthus implementing a combination of frequency division multiplexing (FDM) and time division multiplexing (TDM). The console may use aspects of the Wi-Fi protocol standard to ensure that periodically switching its single radio between the two channels is accomplished while maintaining reliable communication on both channels.

A frequency-selective system that may be used as, or as part of, an add/drop multiplexer. An input signal is fed to a Mach-Zehnder interferometer configured to drop, or suppress, by destructive interference, a signal component in a first frequency band from among a plurality of frequency bands. One or more bandpass filters in one arm of the Mach-Zehnder interferometer suppress other frequencies, outside of the first frequency band, so that signals at these other frequencies are not suppressed by destructive interference and are present at the output of the Mach-Zehnder interferometer. A coupler connected after the output of the Mach-Zehnder interferometer adds, into the signal path, a replacement for the dropped signal.
