Abstract
A communications apparatus includes a cellular communication unit performing pre-set cellular communication, a Wi-Fi communication unit performing pre-set Wi-Fi communication, and a controller checking an available data rate of an available cellular network and that of a Wi-Fi network to determine a data division ratio by using the cellular communication unit and the Wi-Fi communication unit, obtaining an IP address pair, and transferring data including connection request information, the data division ratio for traffic dispersion, and the IP address pair to the server, according to a connection request from the server.
Claims16
A communications apparatus comprising:
- a cellular communication unit performing pre-set cellular communication;
- a Wi-Fi communication unit performing pre-set Wi-Fi communication;
- and
- a controller checking an available data rate of an available cellular network and that of a Wi-Fi network to determine a data division ratio by using the cellular communication unit and the Wi-Fi communication unit, obtaining an IP address pair, and transferring data including connection request information, the data division ratio for traffic dispersion, and the IP address pair to the server, according to a connection request from the server.
A communication method comprising:
- checking, by a controller in cooperation with a cellular communication unit and a Wi-Fi communication unit of a communication apparatus, an available cellular network and an available Wi-Fi network according to a connection request from a server;
- checking an available data rate of the checked cellular network and that of the Wi-Fi network;
- determining a data division ratio according to the available data rates, obtaining an IP address of each of the available cellular network and the Wi-Fi network, and forming an IP address pair;
- and
- transferring data, the data division ratio for traffic dispersion, and the IP address pair to the server.
