Abstract:
The invention refers to a radio network entity for transmitting data packets from an IP gateway in a telecommunications network to a user terminal via a plurality of mobile terminations through a single IP connection. The radio network entity comprises: a module for establishing IP connections between the IP gateway and mobile terminations, for activating first and second IP connections and first and second radio connections in response to respective requests from first and second mobile terminations; a packet splitter that applies a splitting algorithm to determine which radio connection is to be used to transmit which data packets, the packet splitter being in communication with a packet combiner in the user terminal; wherein the packet splitter splits the data packets coming only from the first IP connection selected by the user terminal as the only IP connection through which the data packets are received, thereby transmitting data packets over said first and second radio connections for combining at the packet combiner.
