Mobile device driven information exchange

摘要

A system and method are disclosed for exchanging data in a heterogeneous wireless communications environment. A mobile device initiates a first communication session with a first radio access network (RAN) that is connected to a wired network comprising a remote fixed node (RFN). A first set of data exchange transactions with the RFN is initiated by the mobile device during the first communication session to exchange a first set of data. The mobile device then initiates a second communication session with a second RAN that is likewise connected to the wired network. A second set of data exchange transactions with the RFN is initiated by the mobile device during the second communication session to exchange a second set of data contemporaneously with the first set of data exchange transactions.

主权项

1. A system for exchanging data in a heterogeneous wireless communications environment, comprising:
a wired network configured to exchange data; a plurality of fixed nodes (FNs) connected to the wired network, each FN configured for using the wired network to exchange data; a plurality of radio access networks (RANs) comprising a radio access technology (RAT), each of the RANs connected to the wired network; and a plurality of mobile devices comprising a plurality of network connectivity interfaces for using one of the RATs to initiate a communication session with one of the RANs, the plurality of mobile devices using the wired network in a plurality of data exchange transactions to exchange a set of datagrams comprising at least a destination network address, a source network address, and a chunk of data, wherein a data exchange transaction comprises:
a datagram comprising a transaction request sent from a first mobile device to a remote node (RN), the transaction request being a data retrieval request or data submission request; anda datagram comprising a transaction response received by the first mobile device from the RN, the transaction response being a data retrieval response or a data submission response.
