Flow aggregation and routing for multi-connectivity client devices

A method for managing flow aggregation and routing of data packets for a multi-connectivity client device, the method comprising:

• establishing connection with a client communication engine, wherein the client communication engine manages uplink and downlink data packet routings of the client device;
• exchanging communication capabilities of a multi-access bearer proxy corresponding to the client device and communication capabilities of the client device, with the client communication engine through a predefined communication protocol;
• and
• negotiating a set of communication standards for managing flow aggregation and routing of data packets, with the client communication engine based on the exchanged communication capabilities, wherein the set of communication standards comprises at least one flow aggregation and routing protocol.

A multi connectivity client device comprising:

• a processor;
• a client communication engine coupled to the processor, the client communication engine is to:
• establish a connection with a network communication engine based on connection parameters, wherein the network communication engine manages a multi-access bearer proxy, and wherein the proxy handles uplink and downlink data packet routing of the client device;
• exchange communication capabilities of the client device and the proxy, with the network communication engine through a predefined communication protocol;
• and
• negotiate a set of communication standards for managing flow aggregation and routing of data packets, with the network communication engine based on the exchanged communication capabilities, wherein the set of communication standards comprises at least one flow aggregation and routing protocol.

A network connection engine for managing a multi-access bearer proxy corresponding to a multi connectivity client device, the network connection engine comprising:

• a network connection engine processor;
• a communication module coupled to the processor, the communication module is to:
• establish a connection with a client communication engine, wherein the client communication engine manages uplink and downlink data packet routings of the client device;
• and
• exchange communication capabilities of the proxy and the client device, with the client communication engine through a predefined communication protocol;
• and
• a negotiating module coupled to the processor, the negotiating module is to negotiate a set of communication standards for managing flow aggregation and routing of data packets, with the client communication engine based on the exchanged communication capabilities, wherein the set of communication standards comprises at least one flow aggregation and routing protocol.
