Abstract

See full text

Systems and methods for maintaining a communication session. A home gateway communicates with a foreign access point (AP) located in a foreign gateway via a first tunnel operating over a network between the home gateway and the foreign gateway. The foreign gateway communicates with a hybrid device via the foreign wireless AP. A second tunnel is established from the hybrid device to the home gateway over the network via a cellular data network. An Ethernet bond is formed between the first tunnel and the second tunnel. A virtual IP address is assigned by the home gateway to the hybrid device and assigned by the hybrid device to a wireless transceiver and to a cellular transceiver. Packets are sent to the home gateway via at least one of the first and second tunnels.
