APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR COMMUNICATING OVER A PLURALITY OF COMMUNICATION LINKS

摘要

Apparatus and Method for communicating over a plurality of communication links A method in a first network entity (2) which is capable of communicating over a plurality of communication links (8) with a second network entity (4). The first network entity determines a level of transmit traffic (31) transmitted over the plurality of communication links to the second network entity. The first network entity further determines a level of receive traffic (32) received over the plurality of communication links from the second network entity. The first network entity further determines (33) if the level of transmit traffic and/or the level of receive traffic meet one or more requirements for changing a number of active links of the communication links. If so, the first network entity changes (34) the number of active links independently of the second network entity (4).
