Multi-AP Multi-Link Aggregation for High Data Rate Real-Time Applications

Abstract

Stable wireless connections are required for realtime applications employing high data rate video streaming. Each of Multi-AP system and Multi-Link aggregation is effective to make WLAN connections stable, and we propose a combined Multi-AP Multi-Link system for realizing more stability in the practical use. In our proposed system, APs, which have different types of transmission queues, transmit a stream collaboratively with the support of a coordinator. In the demonstration, we will show that the proposed system realizes high quality video streaming even when WLAN links suffer from interference caused by surrounding devices.
