Method of transmitting data packets
View Patent ↗Method for transmission of data packets by a first station, the packets being intended for a destination node belonging to a network comprising a second station, said packets being transmitted by said first station to said destination node via said second station. In order to simplify the transmission, the method comprises: a routing of a set of at least one of the packets to the second station, a classification associated with the second station, the classification assigning a connection between the first station and the second station to the set of at least one of the packets, a transmission step of the set on the assigned connection.
1. A method for transmission of data packets by a first station, the data packets being transmitted to at least two destination nodes belonging to a network comprising a second station, said data packets being associated to services, said data packets being transmitted by said first station to said at least two destination nodes via said second station, wherein the method comprises:
routing a set of at least one of the data packets to said second station according to identifiers of said at least two destination nodes,
classifying, in association with said second station, said set of at least one of the data packets, the classifying assigns at least a connection between said first station and said second station to said set of at least one of said data packets according to services associated with said set of at least one data packet, the classifying comprising aggregating said services by assigning a same connection to data packets associated with a same service, the classifying being carried out after the routing, a classification function being associated with an identifier of the second station to which the at least two destination nodes are associated, the classification function comprising at least one test function to test at least one parameter of a packet and assign to the packet a connection,
transmitting said set on the assigned connection.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the routing comprise an access counter.
3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the link between the first station and the second station is a wireless link.
4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the link between the first station and the second station is a link of type IEEE 802.16.
5. A transmission device for transmitting data packets associated to services to at least two destination nodes via a station, wherein the transmission device comprises:
a router for routing a set of at least one of the data packets to said station according to identifiers of said at least two destination nodes,
a classifier for classifying, in association with said station, said set of at least one of said data packet, the classifying assigning at least a connection with said station to said set of at least one of said data packets according to services associated with said set of at least one data packet, the classifying comprising aggregating said services by assigning a same connection to data packets associated with a same service, the classifying being carried out after the routing, a classification function being associated with an identifier of the station to which the at least two destination nodes are associated, the classification function comprising at least one test function to test at least one parameter of a packet and assign to the packet a connection,
a transmitter for transmitting said set of at least one data packet on the assigned connection.
6. The transmission device according to claim 1 , wherein the router comprises an access counter.
7. The transmission device according to claim 1 , wherein the connection with said station is a wireless connection.
8. The transmission device according to claim 7 , wherein the connection with said station is a is a connection of type IEEE 802.16.
