AGGREGATION OF BANDWIDTH FROM MULTIPLE WIRELESS DEVICES

摘要

Technologies are generally described for an aggregation of bandwidth from multiple wireless devices. In some examples, a source device may communicate with a destination device at a first bandwidth. The source device may divide data into a first piece and a second piece. The source device may transmit the first piece to a first wireless device and the second piece to a second wireless device over a first network. The first wireless device and second wireless device may communicate with the destination device at a second bandwidth and a third bandwidth respectively. The first bandwidth may be less than an aggregation of the second bandwidth and the third bandwidth. The first wireless device may transmit the first piece over a second network, different from the first network, to the destination device. The second wireless device may transmit the second piece over a third network, different from the first network, to the destination device.

主权项

1. A method for transmitting data from a source device to a destination device, the source device being configured to communicate with the destination device at a first bandwidth, the method comprising by the source device:
dividing the data into at least a first piece and a second piece; transmitting the first piece from the source device over a first network to a first wireless device, the first wireless device being configured to communicate with the destination device over a second network, different from the first network, at a second bandwidth; transmitting the second piece from the source device over the first network to a second wireless device, different from the first wireless device, the second wireless device being configured to communicate with the destination device over a third network, different from the first network, at a third bandwidth, the first bandwidth being less than an aggregation of the second bandwidth and the third bandwidth, the first bandwidth having insufficient capacity to transmit the data to the destination device; transmitting the first piece from the first wireless device over the second network to the destination device; and transmitting the second piece from the second wireless device over the third network to the destination device.
