Abstract:
1. A method for controlling an information provider, comprising: receiving, from one or more gateways of an evolved packet core (EPC), quality of service (QoS) related information about one or more bearer configurations in a plurality of radio access networks (RANs); transmitting, to the one or more gateways of the EPC, a request for pre-determined bearer configurations for a number of different bearers in first and second RANs of the plurality of RANs, wherein the first and second RANs are selected based on a pre-determined criterion, wherein the pre-determined criterion is based on a coverage area or a transmission bandwidth of a cell of the first RAN and of a cell of the second RAN; transmitting one or more requests to generate first data from a content using a first codec and second data from the content using a second codec; determining the first and second RANs are available for transmitting the first data and the second data to a radio communication device; transmitting the first data using the first RAN; and transmitting the second data using the second RAN.
