Estimating the term…
A method and system for performing dynamic link selection (DLS) between transmit/receive units (TRUs). A first TRU determines whether a second TRU has multiple interfaces with a DLS capability. If the second TRU has multiple interfaces with the DLS capability, the first TRU sends a packet to the second TRU through a selected link. The first TRU then receives a report from the second TRU and evaluates quality of the link based on the report. The first TRU selects a link for a new packet in accordance with a predetermined criteria and the quality of the link. If the second TRU does not have multiple interfaces with the DLS capability, the first TRU periodically sends probe packets to the second TRU via all available links. The second TRU sends response packets and the first TRU evaluates the quality of link based on statistics of the response packets.
In a communication system including a first transmit/receive unit (TRU) and a second TRU, a method of selecting a link used to establish communications between the first TRU and the second TRU, the method comprising:
A transmit/receive unit (TRU) for dynamically selecting a link, the TRU comprising:
A communication system supporting dynamic link selection, the system comprising:
An integrated circuit (IC) for selecting a link between transmit/receive units (TRUs) in communication, at least one link being established between the TRUs, the IC comprising:
