MULTIPATH VIDEO STREAMING OVER A WIRELESS NETWORK
First Claim
1. A system for delivering large volumes of source data information over one or more wireless networks comprising:
- a component for turning single source data information into multiple data streams;
a component for encoding the multiple data streams into transport buffers;
a storage area for storing the one or more transport buffers;
one or more radio frequency interface modules providing wireless connectivity to the one or more wireless networks; and
links for providing feedback status information on wireless connectivity conditions to a buffer management and transport controller to enable said buffer management and transport controller to determine the optimal one or more connected radio frequency interface modules to for delivery of the transport buffers through the one or more wireless networks and to adjust the amount of information being transmitted.

Abstract
The method and system as disclosed relates to streaming of large quantities of time critical data over multiple distinct channels from a wireless communications device to a central receiver. More specifically the disclosure deals with the challenges and problems of maintaining consistent data reception quality when faced with the anomalies of a moving sender that is sending data using a relatively unstable radio frequency (RF) method. This is achieved by converting single source data into multiple data streams, placing them in transport buffers and storing them for forwarding. A plurality of radio frequency modules provide wireless connectivity to a plurality of wireless network. Links are maintained to provide feedback on network connections to allow for the transfer of data from one network to another and to adjust the amount of data being transmitted.

11. A method for delivering large volumes of source data information over one or more wireless networks comprising the steps of:
-
encoding said source data information into transport blocks; interpreting feedback from a plurality of radio frequency interface modules, to determine which radio frequency modules should receive which transport blocks; and sending said transport blocks to the appropriate radio frequency interface module based upon said feedback. - View Dependent Claims (12)
