Robust multipath routing
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for communicating over a wireless network, comprising:
- receiving, at a first node, a packet stream comprising Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) packets;
identifying an importance of packets of the packet stream and grouping the packets of the packet stream into at least one of a first or second group of packets based on the identified importance of the packets;
generating a copy of the second group of packets;
determining a first route for transmitting the first group of packets from the first node to a second node;
determining a second route for transmitting the second group of packets from the first node to the second node; and
determining a third route for transmitting the copied second group of packets from the first node to the second node;
wherein each of the first, second, and third routes are different routes.

8. A method for communicating over a wireless network, comprising:
-
Receiving, at a first node, a packet stream comprising Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) packets; grouping packets of the packet stream into at least one of a first or second group of packets based on packet type; generating a copy of the first group of packets; determining a first route for transmitting the first group of packets from the first node to a second node; determining a second route for transmitting the second group of packets from the first node to the second node; and determining a third route for transmitting the copied first group of packets from the first node to the second node; wherein each of the first, second, and third routes are different routes. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A wireless communication system comprising:
a wireless node including a processor and a wireless transceiver coupled to the processor, the processor configured to; receive, at a first node, a packet stream comprising Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) packets; group packets of the packet stream into at least one of a first or second group of packets based on packet type; generate a copy of the second group of packets; determine a first route for transmitting the first group of packets from the first node to a second node; determine a second route for transmitting the second group of packets from the first node to the second node; and determine a third route for transmitting the copied second group of packets from the first node to the second node; wherein each of the first, second, and third routes are different routes. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
