Abstract:
1. A method for dynamically modifying a communication links data bandwidth comprising: (a) determining available data bandwidth in a wireless communications network; (b) partitioning a data stream into N portions, where N is a number of communications channels such that N*data bandwidth of a single communications channel is less than the determined available data bandwidth; (c) transmitting a k-th portion using a k-th communications channel, where k is a number between (d) repeating step (c) for all remaining N-1 portions; and further comprising: (f) measuring a currently available data bandwidth; (g) comparing the currently available data bandwidth with the determined available data bandwidth; (h) reducing the value of N if the currently available data bandwidth is less than the determined available data bandwidth; (i) increasing the value of N if the currently available data bandwidth is greater than the determined available data bandwidth; and (j) repeating steps (b)-(j).
