Abstract:
1. A method comprising: apportioning, by use of a controller, multimedia data for transmission from a plurality of access points, in which respective apportioned portions of the multimedia data are allocated to the plurality of access points; transmitting respective apportioned portions of the multimedia data from corresponding access points to a destination device, in which a probing signal is sent from an access point when not transmitting apportioned multimedia data; receiving feedback information from the destination device regarding error rate in reception of the apportioned portions by the destination device and the probing signal; and adjusting dynamically radio frequency modulation from a particular access point in which the destination device indicates a higher than desired error rate for reception of a respective apportioned portion transmitted from the particular access point; and re-apportioning subsequent transmission of the multimedia data amongst the access points based on adjustments to radio frequency modulation made in response to the higher than desired error rate encountered by the destination device for transmissions from the particular access point.
