Network Assisted Bonding

摘要

A device is provided for facilitating a media transmission over a wireless network. The device may control and manage a plurality of first wireless modems on a first end node side. The plurality of first wireless modems may be configured to transmit/receive a plurality of data streams over a plurality of wireless data channels to/from at least one second wireless modem on a second end node side. The device may receive network-related information from a network component associated with the wireless network. The network-related information may be used to adjust the distribution or receipt of the plurality of data streams between the plurality of first wireless modems, thereby enabling reconstitution of the media transmission from the plurality of data streams. In addition, the device may be configured to send performance-related information to the network component, thereby enabling a determination to be made about managing network resources of the wireless network.

1. A communications device configured to facilitate a media transmission over at least one wireless communications network, the communications device comprising:
at least one processor configured to:
control a plurality of first wireless modems associated with a first end node side of the at least one wireless communications network, and to communicate via a plurality of wireless data channels with at least one second wireless modem associated with a second end node side of the at least one wireless communications network;manage at least one of distribution and receipt of a plurality of data streams over the plurality of wireless data channels, wherein the media transmission comprises an aggregate of the plurality of data streams;receive network-related information from a network component associated with the at least one wireless communications network;use the received network-related information to adjust at least one of distribution and receipt of the plurality of data streams between the plurality of first wireless modems, thereby enabling reconstitution of the media transmission from the plurality of data streams.
