Abstract
Embodiments of apparatus, computer-implemented methods, systems, devices, and computer-readable media are described herein for encoding and transmitting layered multi-media streams over multiple radio links. In various embodiments, a first layer of a multi-media stream may be received at a multi-radio computing device through a first radio link. In various embodiments, a second layer of the multi-media stream may be received at the multi-radio computing device through a second radio link. In various embodiments, feedback about the first and second radio links may be transmitted, by the multi-radio computing device through the first or second radio link, to a remote computing device configured to distribute layers of the multi-media stream among the first and second radio links.

66. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
-
receiving, at a computing device through a first radio link, a first layer of a multi-media stream; receiving, at the computing device through a second radio link, a second layer of the multi-media stream; and transmitting, by the computing device through the first or second radio link, to a remote computing device configured to distribute layers of the multi-media stream among the first and second radio links, feedback about the first and second radio links. - View Dependent Claims (67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82)

83. A system, comprising:
-
a processor; a memory operably coupled to the processor; a first communication interface to a first communication link; a second communication interface to a second communication link; and a control module configured to; receive, through the first communication interface, a first layer of a layered multi-media stream; receive, through the second communication interface, a second layer of the layered multi-media stream; and transmit, through the first or second communication interface, to a remote computing device configured to distribute layers of the layered multi-media stream among the first and second communication links, feedback to cause the remote computing device to adjust the distribution of the layers among the first and second communication links. - View Dependent Claims (84, 85)

86. A system, comprising:
-
a processor; a memory operably coupled to the processor; and a sender control module configured to; receive feedback about first and second radio links through which a remote client computing device is configured to receive at least two layers of a video stream; determine, based on the received feedback, a scheme for distributing at least one base layer and at least one enhancement layer of a video stream among the first and second radio links to the remote client computing device; and control transmission of the at least one base layer and the at least one enhancement layer of the video stream to the remote client computing device in accordance with the determined scheme. - View Dependent Claims (87, 88, 89, 90)
