Abstract
What is disclosed is a wireless network control system configured to communicate with a wireless access node over a plurality of backhaul links. The wireless network control system includes a backhaul interface configured to monitor individual transmission delays for the backhaul links. The wireless network control system also includes a processing system configured to determine a data packet for transfer to the wireless access node and separate the data packet into a sequence of packet fragments. The processing system is also configured to select an individual one of the backhaul links for each of the packet fragments based on relative positions of the packet fragments in the sequence and based on the individual transmission delays of the backhaul links.
