Abstract: Aspects of this disclosure relate to a pair of wireless communication devices wirelessly communicating with a network system in a coordinated manner. The wireless communication devices of the pair can be in communication with each other via a wireless peer-to-peer link. A primary wireless communication device can communicate a first part of a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) transmission via cellular communications and a second part of the MIMO transmission via the peer-to-peer link. This can enable the primary wireless communication device to communicate with the network system at a higher data rate and/or at a higher MIMO rank.

Abstract: Methods and systems of multi-link peer-to-peer communications enable consumer devices to have increased communication performance. A method of communication can include establishing, by a consumer device, a P2P interface with extender devices, transmitting uplink data to the two or more extender devices, and transmitting, by each of the two or more extender devices, uplink transmission data to a cellular network. The method can further include receiving, by the extender devices, downlink transmission data from a respective cellular network, transmitting, by each of the two or more extender devices via the peer-to-peer wireless interface, the received downlink transmission data, and receiving, at the consumer device via the peer-to-peer wireless interface, data related to the received downlink transmission data. In an example, the consumer device can also transmit data directly to a cellular network and receive data directly from the cellular network in parallel with the P2P communication.
