Patent ID: 7593735

Claim:
A method for transmitting a sequence of data packets between a wirelessly connectable communications device and a communications partner, comprising: a) providing the communications device with a separate IP interface for each of at least two wireless access points; b) when a first wireless transmission path is available, detecting an availability of at least one second wireless transmission path, and providing a sequence of at least two IP addresses as source addresses of the wireless communications device, each IP address associating a different IP interface with each wireless transmission path; c) generating a first assignment schema configured to assign each data packet an address specification and effect assignment of data packets to the first wireless transmission path and at least one second wireless transmission path; d) transmitting the data packets via the first wireless transmission path and at least one second wireless transmission path between the communications device and the communications partner based on the address specification assigned to each data packet; e) recording transmission capacities of the first and at least one second wireless transmission paths; and f) replacing the first assignment schema with a second assignment schema that is different than the first assignment schema.
