Method and apparatus for a multi-radio access technology layer for splitting downlink-uplink over different radio access technologies


Abstract

A multi radio access technology layer (MRL) is a convergence layer solution, located between the protocol layers and the technology-dependent MAC layers. The MRL layer is technology independent and uses the information received from the underlying technologies to select the most appropriate uplink and downlink technologies to match the respective service requirements.
