Abstract
A user equipment (UE) device may include a memory, a communication interface, a plurality of antenna components, and one or more processors. The one or more processors operate to identify a plurality of base stations available for connection via the communication interface and the plurality of antenna components. Virtual user equipment (UE) for two or more of the identified plurality of base stations are allocated and the UE device connects to the two or more base stations using the respective virtual UEs. Network characteristics are identified for the connections with the plurality of base stations. Data flows for the device are identified. The identified data flows are assigned to the virtual UEs based on the identified network characteristics.
