Abstract
A wireless communication system downloads information from a file server using multiple wireless communication paths. When a destination requests data from a file server through a wireless terminal, the wireless terminal generates an address translation rule that includes source, translation and destination addresses used to route the data from the file server to the destination through a virtual network server. The address translation rule is sent to at least one other wireless terminal, so that retrieved data packets can be routed through both wireless terminals simultaneously. A packet retrieved from the file server is sent to the virtual network server, where the packet is encapsulated into multiple packets and assigned virtual addresses. The encapsulated packets are sent to the multiple wireless terminals, and are sent from those terminals to the destination using the address translation rule, where the packets are decapsulated to reproduce the originally sent packet.
