Patent ID: 8773969

Claim:
A method, comprising: multiplexing information for a single wireless communication device onto multiple radio pathways to produce a data packet, wherein the multiple radio pathways comprise a first radio pathway and a second radio pathway, and wherein multiplexing the information comprises providing first data for a first group of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) subcarriers to the first radio pathway, and providing second data for a second group of the OFDM subcarriers to the second radio pathway; operating the multiple radio pathways to generate different portions of the data packet; generating the first group of OFDM subcarriers and the second group of OFDM subcarriers based on a physical layer frame for the wireless communication device, wherein the physical layer frame is generated based on an aggregated bandwidth of at least two different wireless channels associated with the wireless communication device; and transmitting the data packet to the single wireless communication device by concurrent transmissions of the different portions of the data packet over the at least two different wireless channels, wherein the multiple radio pathways are associated with the at least two different wireless channels.
