Abstract
A system and method comprising a framework configured to enable wireless devices to intelligently and simultaneously use multiple wireless interfaces of the wireless devices.
Claims21
An intelligent connectivity framework for the simultaneous use of multiple interfaces of a wireless device, comprising:
- a wireless device having a plurality of heterogeneous wireless network interfaces;
- said wireless device being configured to discover metrics related to the status of networks and the quality of a transmission;
- said wireless device being configured to decide on an intelligent connectivity strategy involving use of a plurality of said multiple network interfaces based on said discovered metrics;
- and
- said wireless device being configured to stream an application session over a plurality of said multiple interfaces simultaneously without application-layer modifications.
