Methods and apparatuses for providing inter radio network controller multiflow capability

摘要

The present disclosure presents methods and apparatuses for improved data rates in a wireless communications environment wherein a user equipment (UE) may receive and transmit signals from a plurality of network entities (NodeBs) which are controlled by separate radio network controllers (RNCs). For example the disclosure presents a method of wireless communication in a multiflow environment which includes establishing a first flow between a serving radio network controller (S RNC) and a first network entity wherein the S RNC controls the first network entity. The method also includes establishing a second flow between the S RNC and a second network entity which is controlled by a drift radio network controller (D RNC). Furthermore the method includes transmitting data to the UE via both the first flow and the second flow.
