Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for aggregating bandwidth from multiple sources. In embodiments, a user device, such as a cellular telephone, may have a communications channel established with both a cellular tower and a wireless access point (WAP). When the user device transmits data, this data transmission may be divided between the multiple communications channels concurrently, so as to utilize the combined bandwidth of the multiple channels. Each communication channel may be prioritized, such as by prioritizing using the cellular channel until it is at capacity, and then using the WAP channel.
