Abstract
Methods and apparatus which allow a wireless terminal () to simultaneously maintain connections with multiple base stations () are described. Each wireless terminal () is capable of supporting multiple separate timing and/or other control loops one, for each base station connection thereby allowing the connections to operate independently and in parallel. Different control signals and/or data are transmitted on each connection that is established with a base station (). In this manner base stations () receive different data allowing for asynchronous data transmission. The data received by the base stations () can be supplied to a wired asynchronous network () without the need to combine the received data prior to supplying it to the wired network (). The communications techniques of the invention can be used to implement soft handoffs without the need to duplicate data transmissions to multiple base stations.
