Abstract:
1. A method comprising: providing one or more data packets at one of a plurality of media access control-service access point (MAC-SAP) interfaces of a transmitting device; dividing the one or more data packets into two or more streams of data packets, wherein the two or more streams of data packets are arranged for transmission on respective separate wireless interfaces of the transmitting device, wherein each wireless interface is associated with one of the plurality of MAC-SAP interfaces; simultaneously transmitting the two or more streams of data packets over a wireless medium via their respective separate wireless interfaces; arranging one or more consecutively received data packets into blocks, wherein each block of the data packets is placed in a queue of one of the wireless interfaces, and wherein a data packet of one of the blocks placed in a queue of a particular wireless interface is assigned an interface-specific sequence number representative of an order in which the data packet is placed in the queue of the particular wireless interface and a block sequence number representative of an order in which the one of the blocks is placed in the queue across all of the wireless interfaces; and adding a block synchronization frame to a queue prior to queuing a new block of data packets on that queue.
