METHOD FOR COMMUNICATING IN A NETWORK

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for communicating in a network from a first station to a second station, wherein the first station comprises at least one buffer memory for storing data packets to be transmitted, the method comprising the steps of
(a) the first station estimating the status of the at least one buffer memory,(b) the first station transmitting at least one buffer status packet representative of the buffer memory status, wherein the method further comprises (c) adapting the value of a first parameter of the buffer status packets on the basis of a data traffic characteristic.

主权项

1. A radio station, comprising:
a transceiver configured to communicate in a network with at least a further radio station, at least one buffer memory for storing data packets to be transmitted, a buffer controller for estimating the status of the at least one buffer memory, the transceiver configured to transmit at least one buffer status packet indicating the buffer memory status, the buffer controller configured to deduce the value of a first parameter of the buffer status packets based on a data traffic characteristic of the network.
