Abstract

Capacity of radio links in an in-building cellular communication system is currently limited by bandwidth available for a communications link between a terminal and a single base station. The present invention mitigates this limitation by permitting the terminal to establish a number of communications links with a number of base stations. Content data is distributed in parallel over the number of communications links.
