Abstract
An agent manages multipath communications between a first network and a second network. The first network and a second network are wirelessly coupled by links through a plurality of wireless cellular devices. A link status monitor maintains a list of wireless cellular devices with bridging capability available for multipath communications between the first and second networks. A packet scheduler identifies segments of received packets originating from the second network and assigns one or more wireless cellular devices selected from the list to the identified segments. A packet transmitter encapsulates the segments of packets so identified and addresses the encapsulated segments to the assigned wireless cellular devices.
