Abstract:
1. An apparatus comprising: a block generator that receives communication traffic and generates fixed-length communication traffic blocks for transmission over a wireless communication link, the fixed-length communication traffic blocks comprising the received communication traffic; a distributor, operatively coupled to the block generator, that distributes the fixed-length communication traffic blocks between a first wireless communication link associated with the apparatus and a second wireless communication link associated with a further apparatus for transmission of the fixed-length communication traffic blocks over the first and second wireless communication links; and a block transfer module, operatively coupled to the distributor, that enables the fixed-length communication traffic blocks that are distributed to the second wireless communication link to be transferred to the further apparatus over a further communication link, at least one of the block generator, the distributor, and the block transfer module being implemented using hardware.
