BIDIRECTIONAL AND REVERSE DIRECTIONAL RESOURCE RESERVATION SETUP PROTOCOL

摘要

The invention relates to establishing a wireless packet session between at least two users (USER A and USER B). At least one (USER A or USER B) of the users is a wireless user. A first of the at least two users send a reservation setup protocol (RSVP) PATH message (30) to a second user of the two users. The RSVP PATH message (30) includes information for reserving resources for transmissions from only the first user to the second user; or from the first user to the second user and the second user to the first user, or only for transmissions from the second user to the first user. In response to receiving the RSVP PATH message (30), the second user transmits a RSVP reservation (RESV) message (32) to the first user. Transmissions occur using the reserved resources.
