Aggregating multiple radio links from multiple modems in a communication device

摘要

Aggregating multiple modems in a communication device into a radio-frequency-link aggregation group increases the limited data bandwidth of RF data transmission between a communication device and its operator network. An aggregation controller in the communication device monitors the availability of its modems and selects modems to be used in a radio-frequency-link aggregation group. The aggregation controller also selects an aggregation algorithm. A radio-frequency-link aggregation module in the communication device distributes data to modems in the radio-frequency-link aggregation group in accordance with the aggregation algorithm. A connectivity service in the communication device notifies the operator network of the modems in the radio-frequency-link aggregation group and acknowledges that the operator network agrees to handle transmission from the radio-frequency-link aggregation group.
