Abstract:
1. A method comprising: monitoring signal strengths of a plurality of available base stations; determining a downlink base station from the available base stations based at least in part on the monitored signal strengths; determining an uplink base station from the available base stations based at least in part on the monitored signal strengths, wherein the uplink base station for a communication is different from the downlink base station for the communication; establishing a downlink for the communication to the downlink base station without establishing an uplink for the communication with the downlink base station; establishing the uplink for the communication to the uplink base station without establishing the downlink for the communication with the uplink base station; and receiving downlink data from the downlink base station while transmitting uplink data to the uplink base station that is different than the downlink base station.
