Abstract

Embodiments described herein relate to real-time streaming of large quantities of time critical data over multiple distinct networks from a communications device. More specifically, embodiments described herein may address challenges and problems of maintaining consistent data reception quality when faced with the anomalies of a moving sender that is sending data using a relatively unstable method. This may be achieved by converting single source data into multiple data streams, placing them in transport buffers and storing them for forwarding.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A system for transmitting data over a plurality of communication links comprising:

a computer processor operating in conjunction with computer memory, the computer processor configured to divide a data stream into a plurality of data packets for buffering into one or more transport buffers;
and
a plurality of communication interfaces configured to transmit the plurality of data packets to the plurality of communication links to aggregate throughput across the plurality of communication links, wherein the plurality of communication interfaces are configured to provide one or more connectivity conditions to the computer processor regarding the plurality of communication links;
wherein the computer processor is configured to process the one or more connectivity conditions to:
for a data packet of the plurality of data packets and prior to a transmission of the data packet, withdraw the data packet from a transport buffer of the one or more transport buffers and select a communication interface of the plurality of communication interfaces for the transmission of the data packet over at least one of the plurality of communication links.
