<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method in which mobile nodes support simultaneous OFDM links with multiple points of network attachment. <P>SOLUTION: An MN may simultaneously use multiple IP addresses, allowing packets addressed to the mobile to be routed over different paths. Alternatively, the MN may have a single IP address with packets corresponding to different applications, e.g., identified by packet header information, being routed over different paths. Thus packets corresponding to one application, e.g., a voice application, may be routed over one wireless link while packets corresponding to another application, e.g., a data application such as E-mail, may be routed over another wireless link. The direction of communication, latency, reliability and other QoS characteristics of the different wireless links may be considered in path selection. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
