Sony patents wireless method that checks data delivery across two links
Sony describes a wireless communication device that splits data into two parts and sends them over separate links. The device receives confirmation messages on both links to verify if the data arrived successfully, allowing it to manage transmission more effectively.
In the filing’s own words
A wireless communication apparatus: performs communication using a first link; performs communication using a second link; and performs allocation control of allocating transmission data to first data and second data, transmission control of controlling transmission of the first data using the first link and transmission of the second data using the second link, and reception control of controlling reception using the first link of a first response including reception success/failure information indicating a success/failure of reception with respect to the first data and at least a part of the second data and reception using the second link of a second response including the reception success/failure information indicating a success/failure of reception with respect to the second data and at least a part of the first data. The present technique can be applied to wireless communication systems.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A wireless communication apparatus, comprising: a first communicating portion configured to perform communication using a first link; a second communicating portion configured to perform communication using a second link; and a communication control portion configured to perform allocation control of allocating transmission data to first data and second data, transmission control of controlling transmission of the first data using the first link and transmission of the second data using the second link, and reception control of controlling reception using the first link of a first response including reception success/failure information indicating a success/failure of reception with respect to the first data and at least a part of the second data and reception using the second link of a second response including the reception success/failure information indicating a success/failure of reception with respect to the second data and at least a part of the first data.
