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