Abstract:
Methods and systems for providing data to a mobile device from multiple access points are described. The system may include multiple access points (APs) in communication with each other to form a network of APs. The network of APs may include a logical AP (LAP) that is discoverable as an individual physical access point by a mobile device, even though the LAP may be a logical construction involving multiple physical APs that communicate with the mobile device. The system may synchronize operations within the network of APs for effective and efficient data transmissions. The mobile device may request a data connection from the LAP or from an individual AP, wherein the data connection is between at least two APs. The data connection may have a throughput/bandwidth exceeding the maximum capacity of individual APs. The LAP may manage connections between the APs and connections between the mobile device and the APs.
