Patent attributes
Methods and systems of multi-link peer-to-peer communications enable consumer devices to have increased communication performance. A method of communication can include establishing, by a consumer device, a P2P interface with extender devices, transmitting uplink data to the two or more extender devices, and transmitting, by each of the two or more extender devices, uplink transmission data to a cellular network. The method can further include receiving, by the extender devices, downlink transmission data from a respective cellular network, transmitting, by each of the two or more extender devices via the peer-to-peer wireless interface, the received downlink transmission data, and receiving, at the consumer device via the peer-to-peer wireless interface, data related to the received downlink transmission data. In an example, the consumer device can also transmit data directly to a cellular network and receive data directly from the cellular network in parallel with the P2P communication.
