Method for concurrent bandwidth aggregation using a second path on a second wireless network that utilizes the packet core network of a first path on a first wireless network
First Claim
1. A method of wireless communication in a multi-modem user equipment (UE), comprising:
- requesting a packet data session for a first path on a first wireless network using a first modem of the multi-modem UE via a packet core network of the first wireless network;
requesting a packet data session for a second path on a second wireless network via the packet core network of the first wireless network using a second modem of the multi-modem UE; and
receiving packet data over at least the second path on the second wireless network via the packet core network of the first wireless network in which a tunneled connection is established for the first and second paths to converge to a common point such that the tunneled connection bypasses at least a portion of a packet core network of the second wireless network.

Abstract
A method for concurrent bandwidth aggregation (COBA) for a client via multiple wireless networks includes requesting a packet data session for a first path on a first wireless network using a first modem of the multi-modem UE via a packet core network of the first wireless network. The method further includes requesting a packet data session for a second path on a second wireless network via the packet core network of the first wireless network using a second modem of the multi-modem UE. The method also includes receiving packet data over at least the second path on the second wireless network via the packet core network of the first wireless network.
