    Abstract: A device is provided for operating in a communication system that comprises a plurality of individual networks. The device comprises one or more subscriber modules for assisting the device to attach to a network. The number of those one or more subscriber modules is fewer than the number of the plurality of networks. The device being configured to initiate a pre-attach procedure to attach itself to all of the plurality of networks before it establishes a connection with one of those networks. It is also configured to connect to one of the plurality of networks for communicating data with that network while remaining attached to the others of the plurality of networks. The advantage of a device that pre-attaches to more than one network is that it significantly reduces the time needed for the device to switch later from being connected to one network to another network.

    Abstract: A method for executing multipath communication at a target communication device includes obtaining, from a source communication device, data packets via two or more different paths, where a header of each data packet includes packet information, which is indicative of an association among the plurality of data packets. The packet information in each data packet at a source communication device is the same as packet information in each data packet at a target communication device irrespective of different radio access technologies, communication protocols, or radio links used in the two or more different paths. The plurality of data packets includes different data packets having different payload or duplicate data packets having a copy of the same payload. The method further includes identifying a first set of data packets received via a first path and a second set of data packets received via a second path based on the packet information.
