Abstract
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. In one aspect, an apparatus includes a processor configured to identify at least one interface (e.g., AP interface) configured to support link aggregation, identify one or more groups of the at least one interface, wherein all interfaces of a respective group are configured to be aggregated together, identify supported link aggregation types per group, select one of the groups to support communication via link aggregation, select at least one interface of the selected group, and send information to the selected at least one interface to initialize link aggregation.
Claims24
An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- a processing system configured to:
- identify at least one interface of a plurality of interfaces at a second apparatus configured to support link aggregation;
- identify one or more groups of interfaces associated with the at least one interface, wherein all interfaces of a respective group of interfaces are configured to be aggregated together;
- and
- select one of the groups to support communication via link aggregation.
A method of wireless communication, comprising:
- identifying at least one interface of a plurality of interfaces at a second apparatus configured to support link aggregation;
- identifying one or more groups interfaces associated with of the at least one interface, wherein all interfaces of a respective group of interfaces are configured to be aggregated together;
- and
- selecting one of the groups to support communication via link aggregation.
A computer-readable medium storing computer executable code for wireless communication by an apparatus, comprising code for:
- identifying at least one interface of a plurality of interfaces at a second apparatus configured to support link aggregation;
- identify one or more groups of interfaces associated with the at least one interface, wherein all interfaces of a respective group of interfaces are configured to be aggregated together;
- and
- select one of the groups to support communication via link aggregation.
A station for wireless communication, comprising:
- at least one antenna;
- and
- a processing system configured to:
- identify, via the at least one antenna, at least one interface of a plurality of interfaces at a second apparatus configured to support link aggregation,
- identify, via the at least one antenna, one or more groups of interfaces associated with the at least one interface, wherein all interfaces of a respective group of interfaces are configured to be aggregated together;
- and
- select one of the groups to support communication via link aggregation.
