Abstract
The concepts relate to radio channel utilization. One example can channel bond a first available channel from a first radio frequency band with a second available channel from a second radio frequency band. The example can transmit a portion of a forward error correction coded data stream over the first available channel and a different portion of the forward error correction coded data stream over the second available channel.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- performing forward error correction coding on a data stream;
- calculating a desired throughput for the forward error correction coded data stream;
- determining a first radio channel from a first radio frequency band with a first throughput;
- in response to the first throughput being less than the desired throughput, determining a second radio channel from a second radio frequency band with a second throughput;
- proportionally splitting the forward error correction coded data stream into a first sub-stream and a second sub-stream based on the first throughput and the second throughput;
- and,
- transmitting the first sub-stream over the first radio channel and the second sub-stream over the second radio channel to achieve the desired throughput.
4 more elements
A device, comprising:
- wireless circuitry including a receiver and a transmitter configured to receive and send signals over radio channels of different radio frequency bands;
- and,
- a communication manager configured to
- obtain a desired throughput for a data stream,
- identify an individual radio channel of a first radio frequency band with a first throughput,
- in response to the first throughput being less than the desired throughput, identify at least one additional radio channel of at least a second radio frequency band, the at least one additional radio channel having a second throughput,
- proportionally split the data stream into a first sub-stream and a second sub-stream based at least in part on the first throughput and the second throughput, and
- cause the transmitter to send the first sub-stream over the individual radio channel and the second sub-stream over the at least one additional radio channel.
5 more elements
A device, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- storage storing computer-executable instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
- obtain a desired throughput of a data stream;
- identify a first radio channel from a first radio frequency band, the first radio channel having a first throughput;
- in response to the first throughput being less than the desired throughput of the data stream, identify a second radio channel from a second radio frequency band with a second throughput;
- split the data stream into a first data portion and a second data portion based at least in part on the first throughput and the second throughput;
- and,
- transmit the first data portion over the first radio channel and the second data portion over the second radio channel.
