Wireless backhaul physical layer aggregation

Abstract

A method may include obtaining an Ethernet frame. The method may also include determining a first priority for the Ethernet frame based on a quality-of-service classification. The method may further include segmenting the Ethernet frame into two or more segments. The method may also include adding metadata to the Ethernet frame or the two or more segments. The method may further include determining multiple links for transmitting the Ethernet frame. The method may also include obtaining values for each link of the multiple links. The method may further include computing a maximum allowed latency for each link of the multiple links. The method may also include selecting a first link of the multiple links based on the values for each link and the maximum allowed latency for each link. The method may further include queueing the Ethernet frame or the two or more segments for transmission using the first link.
