SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TRANSMISSION OF DATA FROM A WIRELESS MOBILE DEVICE OVER A MULTIPATH WIRELESS ROUTER

摘要

There is disclosed a system and method for transmission of multiple data streams from a mobile device to a network. In an embodiment, the system includes a multipath wireless router configured to provide a plurality of network connections including cellular, satellite, or wired Ethernet. An encoding module provided on the mobile device is configured to encode high volume data (e.g. high definition video) recorded by the mobile device into multiple data streams in dependence on the number of network connections available for transmission via the multipath wireless router. The encoding module provided on the mobile device transmits the multiple data streams to the wireless router using Wi-Fi to provide a local, short-hop, high capacity network connection. The plurality of network connections available via the multipath wireless router provides the necessary capacity and reliability to transmit a high volume of data, such as high definition video, virtually live.

1. A computer system for improving network communications involving at least one mobile device, the computer system comprising:
a. at least one mobile device; and b. a computer implemented network router linked to the mobile device, or associated mobile devices, and configured to connect to, or initiate the connection to, a plurality of networks using associated network connections, wherein the network router accesses iteratively real time or near real time performance data for the plurality of networks, and based on this performance data determines a network communication performance profile, and based on this performance profile splits the information into multiple data streams and controls the transfer of such multiple data streams via their associated network connections and networks, thereby improving transmission of the information from the mobile device;wherein the performance data is accessed iteratively, thereby optionally updating the performance profile successively, and permitting the network router to vary the selective transmission across the network connections based on updates to the performance profile.
