US 2019/0174353 A1 · DYNAMIC LINK SELECTION

Abstract

A method for dynamic link selection that comprises providing at least two wireless links between one or more network nodes and a wireless device. The at least two wireless links associated with at least two different radio access technologies. The method additionally includes obtaining control data to be sent to a first network node of the one or more network nodes. The control data is associated with a first radio access technology. The method additionally includes selecting one or more wireless links from among the at least two wireless links. The one or more links selected based on a first selection parameter. The one or more selected wireless links are to be used for the transmission of the control data to the first network node. The one or more selected wireless links comprise at least a first wireless link associated with a second radio access technology. The method further includes transmitting the control data associated with the first radio access technology to the first network node via at least the first wireless link associated with the second radio access technology. The method also includes obtaining the control data at the first network node and determining whether the received control data is duplicated control data.
