Method for scheduling of file transfers for wireless networks

摘要

The invention relates to an apparatus and a method for scheduling information transfers between a wireless network and a fixed network. According to the invention information transfer between accessible local elements linked to a wireless network and a fixed network is scheduled by directing an information request from the local elements to an operating unit interfacing the wireless network and the fixed network, storing the request in the operating unit and processing the request depending on the congestion in the wireless network. Thereby the processing of the request comprises operating of the request and subsequently returning the information according to the request obtained from the fixed network to the local element within the wireless network depending on the congestion of the latter. Thereby the transfers in both directions are fully managed by the operating unit.
