Optimized control system for aggregation of multiple broadband connections over radio interfaces

Abstract

In accordance with embodiments disclosed herein, there are provided apparatus, systems and methods for implementing and using optimized control systems for aggregation of multiple broadband connections over radio interfaces. For example, such a system may include: a processor and a memory to perform instructions embodied by the system; a plurality of antennas; a traffic coordinator to interface to two or more wireless communications nodes together, through the system, in which each of the wireless communications nodes have access to a wide Area Network (WAN) backhaul connection independent of the system; a first wireless communications interface to a first wireless communication node established via a first of the plurality of antennas, the first wireless communications node having access to a first WAN backhaul connection; a second wireless communications interface to a second wireless communications node established via a second of the plurality of antennas, the second wireless communications node having access to a second WAN backhaul connection distinct from the first WAN backhaul connection; and a control module to receive information on traffic flows through the system and a radio environment within which the system operates, in which the control module to: issue commands to control the formation and continuation of connections of the first and second wireless communications interfaces to WAN connections and WAN backhaul connections, and to further provide scheduling and routing instructions for the WAN connections and WAN backhaul connections. Other related embodiments are disclosed.
