Abstract:
A method of operating a wireless device having a first radio interface and a second radio interface. The method includes: using the first radio interface to transfer data between i) the wireless device and ii) a first access point; and using the second radio interface to transfer data between i) the wireless device and the first access point. While continuing to use the first radio interface to transfer data between i) the wireless device and ii) the first access point: suspending the transfer of data between i) the wireless device and ii) the first access point through the second radio interface; for a predetermined time period, using the second radio interface to search for a second access point; and in response to expiration of the predetermined time period, resuming the transfer of data between i) the wireless device and ii) the first access point through the second radio interface.
