A method of transmitting data packets in a packet-based communication system includes assigning respective communication links for data transfer between a master unit and a first slave unit, A, and a second slave unit, B. The link between the master unit and the second slave unit, B, is monitored so that during periods of inactivity, DTX, data packets can be transmitted between the master unit and the first slave unit, A, over the second communications link. Data packets are transmitted between the master unit and the first slave unit, A, on the second communications link, if a packet failure occurs on the first link. |
