Method for concurrent bandwidth aggregation using a second path on a second wireless network that utilizes the packet core network of a first path on a first wireless network

An apparatus configured for operation of a multi-modem user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication network, the apparatus comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the memory, the at least one processor being configured:
• to request a packet data session for a first path on a first wireless network using a first modem of the multi-modem UE via a packet core network of the first wireless network;
• to request a packet data session for a second path on a second wireless network via the packet core network of the first wireless network using a second modem of the multi-modem UE;
• and
• to receive packet data over at least the second path on the second wireless network via the packet core network of the first wireless network.

A computer program product configured for wireless communication in a multi-modem user equipment (UE), the computer program product comprising:

• a non-transitory computer-readable medium having non-transitory program code recorded thereon, the program code comprising:
• program code to request a packet data session for a first path on a first wireless network using a first modem of the multi-modem UE via a packet core network of the first wireless network;
• program code to request a packet data session for a second path on a second wireless network via the packet core network of the first wireless network using a second modem of the multi-modem UE;
• and
• program code to receive packet data over at least the second path on the second wireless network via the packet core network of the first wireless network.

An apparatus operable for a multi-modem user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the apparatus comprising:

• means for requesting a packet data session for a first path on a first wireless network using a first modem of the multi-modem UE via a packet core network of the first wireless network;
• means for requesting a packet data session for a second path on a second wireless network via the packet core network of the first wireless network using a second modem of the multi-modem UE;
• and
• means for receiving packet data over at least the second path on the second wireless network via the packet core network of the first wireless network.
