Abstract
A data flow manager distributes data of a data stream of a user equipment via at least a first communication link and a second communication link, wherein the second communication link is independent of the first communication link. The data flow manager includes: a network interface configured to receive a first status signal indicating a first link quality of the first communication link and a second status signal indicating a second link quality of the second communication link; and a processor configured to perform load-balancing by selecting a prioritization link from the first communication link or the second communication link independent of the first link quality and the second link quality provided that the first link quality is above a first quality threshold and the second link quality is above a second quality threshold.
