HIGH CAPACITY NETWORK COMMUNICATION LINK USING MULTIPLE CELLULAR DEVICES

摘要

An agent (150 or 190) manages multipath communications between a first network and a second network, wherein the first network and a second network are wirelessly coupled therebetween by links through a plurality of wireless cellular devices (101). A link status monitor maintains a list of wireless cellular devices with bridging capability available for multipath communications between the first and second networks. A packet scheduler identifies segments of received packets originating from the second network and assigns one or more wireless cellular devices (101) selected from the list to the identified segments. A packet transmitter encapsulates the segments of packets so identified and addresses the encapsulated segments to the assigned wireless cellular devices (101).
