Two wireless communication devices 110, 120 may communicate with each other using multiple protocols, PRO A, PRO B, by dividing the data to be communicated into multiple portions, and using each protocol to communicate different portions. The different protocols may include WiFi, WiMAX, LTE and Bluetooth, and may be used simultaneously or concurrently. This multi-protocol technique may be used in several different ways to provide different types of advantages in wireless communications such as switching between first and second protocols based on factors such as quality or available capacity. Data of a first resolution may be transmitted over the first protocol whilst additional data for a higher resolution over the second protocol. A contention-based protocol may be given higher priority than a scheduled protocol. |
