  • Interface aggregation for heterogeneous wireless communication systems
    Patent number: 10944875
    Abstract: First user equipment transmits information identifying first interfaces supported by the first user equipment and first channel capacities associated with the first interfaces. The first user equipment receives information identifying a subset of the first interfaces. The subset is selected based on the first channel capacities and second channel capacities of second interfaces associated with at least one second user equipment. The first user equipment is then configured to aggregate the subset of the first interfaces. A policy server selects a subset of first interfaces supported by a first user equipment based on information indicating first channel capacities of the first interfaces and second channel capacities of second interfaces associated with at least one second user equipment. The policy server transmits instructions to the first user equipment to aggregate the subset.

  • AGGREGATED WIRELINE BACKHAUL FOR WIRELESS MODEMS
    Publication number: 20160219459
    Abstract: A first wireless modem aggregates a wireline backhaul interface with a wireless interface to a second wireless modem in response to receiving signaling indicating availability of wireline backhaul capacity at the second wireless modem. A policy server transmits instructions to a first wireless modem to aggregate a wireline backhaul interface with a wireless interface to a second wireless modem based on availability of wireline backhaul capacity at the second wireless modem.
