Claim:
A method for delivering data, in a wireless system comprising a distributed infrastructure of access points, said method comprising: identifying a plurality of access points to be used cooperatively in combination with each other for the transmission of said data to a receiver, wherein said cooperative usage of said plurality of access points is maintained for at least some portion of a data transmission period; enabling the transmission of said data to said receiver via said plurality of access points, wherein said data is transmitted in a pattern that uses at least two access points during at least some portion of said data transmission period, wherein data packets of said data comprise timestamps and wherein said pattern is selected from a group of predetermined patterns; and determining, during the transmission, performance of at least one of said access points being used for the transmission to enable transmitting at least a portion of said data through a different access point while the transmission is in progress, wherein said performance is based at least on examination of said timestamps.
