Mobile communication terminal and system with a mobile communication terminal
Provided are embodiments of a mobile communication terminal with a data generation unit arranged for generating a data stream, a data serialization unit arranged for segmenting the data stream into at least two distinct data packets, and a channel broker unit. The channel broker unit is connected to the serialization unit to receive the at least two data packets and to select for each of the data packets a bearer channel out of at least two different bearer channels.
1. A mobile communication terminal, comprising:
a data generation unit arranged for generating a data stream;
a data serialization unit arranged for segmenting the data stream into at least two distinct data packets; and
a channel broker unit, wherein the channel broker unit is connected to the serialization unit to receive the at least two data packets and to select for each of the data packets a bearer channel out of at least two different bearer channels;
wherein the channel broker unit and/or the communication unit outputs a mapping between the data packets and the bearer channels on which the respective data packets are transported on a baseline channel.
2. The mobile communication terminal of claim 1 , wherein a communication unit is arranged for establishing a plurality of bearer channels simultaneously.
3. The mobile communication terminal of claim 2 , wherein the communication unit is arranged for establishing at least one packet oriented, in particular connectionless bearer channel.
4. The mobile communication terminal of claim 2 , wherein the channel broker unit forwards information about a selected bearer channel for at least one of the data packets to the communication unit.
5. The mobile communication terminal of claim 4 , wherein the communication unit outputs the data packets on the bearer channels corresponding to the received information about the selected bearer channel.
6. The mobile communication terminal of claim 1 , wherein the channel broker unit and/or the communication unit outputs information about the bearer channels within which data packets of a data stream are transported.
7. The mobile communication terminal of claim 1 , wherein the channel broker unit selects for at least two consecutive data packets two different bearer channels.
8. The mobile communication terminal of claim 1 , wherein the data broker unit monitors bearer channel parameters and selects the bearer channel depending on the monitored channel parameters.
9. The mobile communication terminal of claim 1 , wherein the data broker unit receives user preferences and selects the bearer channel depending on the user preferences.
10. The mobile communication terminal of claim 1 , wherein the data broker unit monitors terminal parameters and selects the bearer channel depending on the monitored terminal parameters.
11. The mobile communication terminal of claim 1 , wherein the data broker unit changes a selected bearer channel for succeeding data packets in response to a bearer channel selection signal.
12. A mobile communication terminal, comprising:
a channel selection unit arranged for selecting at least two different bearer channels for reception of data packets belonging to a common data stream;
a data combination unit arranged for combining the at least two data packets received on different bearer channels into one data stream;
wherein a mapping between the data packets and the bearer channels on which the respective data packets are received on a baseline channel.
13. The mobile communication terminal of claim 12 , wherein a communication unit is connected to at least one baseline channel and at least two bearer channels.
14. The mobile communication terminal of claim 12 , wherein the communication unit receives on the baseline channel information about selected bearer channels and connects to the selected bearer channels.
15. A server arranged for receiving data packets from a mobile communication terminal of claim 1 , comprising:
a channel selection unit arranged for selecting at least two different bearer channels for reception of data packets belonging to a common data stream;
a data combination unit arranged for combining the at least two data packets received on different bearer channels into one data stream;
wherein a mapping between the data packets and the bearer channels on which the respective data packets are received on a baseline channel;
a communication unit arranged for transmitting the data stream on an output bearer channel to a communication terminal.
