Abstract
Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture to transfer a data set via parallel communications are disclosed herein. Example methods include controlling the distribution of portions of a field data set to a network access point via a plurality of parallel communication sessions established by respective ones of a plurality of communication devices with the network access point. Example methods also include comparing a first value based on a respective data transfer rate of a first one of the communication sessions to a second value based on a respective data transfer rate of a second one of the communication sessions to determine whether to establish a new communication session with a third one of the plurality of communication devices. In response to determining to establish a new communication session, a processor instructs a third one of the communication devices to establish the new communication session to transmit a respective portion of the field data set to the network access point.
