Abstract: A method is disclosed for transmitting data between a source node and destination node connected via multiple paths of a heterogeneous network, at least one of the paths delivering packets with a non-deterministic delivery time. Data is divided into frames, each frame comprising a number of packets, where processing by the destination node of an information packet p is conditional on receipt of the data for any information packet i where i<p. A number of sequential transmission slots s, each for transmitting a given packet p of a frame, are allocated for each network path k. A set D of possible assignments of packets to transmission slots for a frame are provided. The method comprises determining an assignment x with minimum in-order delivery delay of said packets based on expected arrival times of packets to their destination and expected reordering delay for packets. Packets are then transmitted in accordance with the determined assignment x.

Abstract: A method for operating a plurality of different wireless networks operating at least in part in overlapping frequency bands includes monitoring, by a first wireless transmitter, activity in the overlapping frequency bands. The first wireless transmitter determines whether a channel in the overlapping frequency bands is idle for a predefined time period. Based on the channel being idle for the predefined time period, it is determined that the first wireless transmitter has a transmission opportunity on the channel. The first wireless transmitter measures an amount of time until a next frame boundary on the channel and, based on the amount of time until the next frame boundary being below a threshold, reserves the channel for a fixed duration of time. Based on the amount of time until the next frame boundary being above the threshold, the first wireless transmitter skips the transmission opportunity on the channel.

Abstract: A method for operating a plurality of wireless networks includes blocking a channel in a second wireless network (SWN) by a first wireless network station (FWN-S) connected to a first wireless network (FWN) and the SWN within an overlapping frequency band. A time for performing blocking after a busy channel is smaller than a predetermined time period. The method further includes indicating part of a total airtime the channel in the SWN will be occupied by the first FWN-S for transmission. The total airtime is computed as a sum of time slots used for successful transmission, their number being computed such that the transmission performance of the SWN is not degraded more than the level of transmission performance is degraded if the first FWN-S would be operating for transmission within the SWN only.
