METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DATA TRANSMISSION BETWEEN A LOCAL AREA NETWORK AND A MAIN NETWORK AUTHORIZING FORMAT ADAPTATION OF SAID DATA

摘要

The invention concerns a method and a telecommunication system (SYST) including a local network (WLAN), a main network (INTNW) and an intermediate element (INTM) via which data packets (Dpo, Epi/Tepi) must pass between the local network (WLAN) and the main network (INTNW). The inventive method includes: a step of evaluating the volume of communications supported by the local network (WLAN), and a step of truncating data packets, executed when said volume is greater than at least one predetermined threshold. The invention enables the size of data packets transiting through the local network to be automatically reduced in case of overload, without resorting to systematic and discriminatory elimination of a particular type of data.
