Abstract

Claims (51)

1. A method for security and/or automation systems, comprising:

identifying data being transmitted over a wired data-connection;

parsing the identified data into two or more parts;

transmitting a first part of the identified data over a primary wireless data-connection; and

transmitting a second part of the identified data over an auxiliary wireless data-connection connected to the primary wireless data-connection via a wireless data-connection.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

aggregating the two or more parts of the identified data after transmitting the two or more parts to an end destination.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining when the identified data exceeds a capacity of the primary wireless data-connection.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the primary wireless data-connection is at a primary location and the auxiliary wireless data-connection is at a secondary location.

5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising:

coupling, using one or more wireless data-connections, one or more auxiliary wireless data-connections to the primary wireless data-connection, wherein the one or more auxiliary wireless data-connections are located at one or more secondary locations.

6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising:

identifying more than one piece of data being transferred across the primary wireless data-connection; and

prioritizing data from the primary location over data from the secondary location based at least in part on the identifying.

7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:

redirecting the second part of the identified data to a second auxiliary wireless data-connection based at least in part on the prioritizing.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

aggregating two or more wireless data-connections over a wireless data system.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

retransmitting a part of the identified data if not received by an end destination.

10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

comparing a size of the identified data to a bandwidth of the primary wireless data-connection; and

calculating a transfer time estimate of transmitting the identified data over the primary wireless data-connection based at least in part on the comparing.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the identified data is divided into the two or more parts based at least in part on the calculating.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein transmitting the second part of the identified data over the auxiliary wireless data-connection reduces the calculated transfer time estimate value.

13. An apparatus for security and/or automation systems, comprising:

a processor;

memory in electronic communication with the processor; and

instructions stored in the memory, the instructions being executable by the processor to:

identify data being transmitted over a wired data-connection;

parse the identified data into two or more parts;

transmit a first part of the identified data over a primary wireless data-connection; and

transmit a second part of the identified data over an auxiliary wireless data-connection connected to the primary wireless data-connection via a wireless data-connection.

14. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the instructions are further executable by the processor to:

aggregate the two or more parts of the identified data after transmitting the two or more parts to an end destination.

15. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the instructions are further executable by the processor to:

determine when the identified data exceeds a capacity of the primary wireless data-connection.

16. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the instructions are further executable by the processor to:

aggregate two or more wireless data-connections over a wireless data system.

17. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable code, the code executable by a processor to:

identify data being transmitted over a wired data-connection;

parse the identified data into two or more parts;

transmit a first part of the identified data over a primary wireless data-connection; and

transmit a second part of the identified data over an auxiliary wireless data-connection connected to the primary wireless data-connection via a wireless data-connection.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the code is further executable by the processor to:

aggregate the two or more parts of the identified data after transmitting the two or more parts to an end destination.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the code is further executable by the processor to:

determine when the identified data exceeds a capacity of the primary wireless data-connection.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the code is further executable by the processor to:

aggregate two or more wireless data-connections over a wireless data system.
