Abstract
A method and apparatus include a communications circuit including a host interface and a processor implemented, unitary media access controller interfacing with each of a first transmit and receive circuitry and a second transmit and receive circuitry. The first transmit and receive circuitry is configured to transmit and receive data over a first operating frequency and the second transmit and receive circuitry is configured to transmit and receive data over a second, different operating frequency band. The method includes scheduling a first portion of the plurality of frames for transmission on a first operating frequency band and scheduling a second portion of the plurality of frames for transmission via a second, different operating frequency band. At least some of the first portion of the frames and the second portion of the plurality of frames are transmitted via the first and the second data channel, respectively, at the same time.
