Wireless network with flow control

摘要

The invention relates to a wireless network comprising a radio network controller ( 1 ) and a plurality of assigned terminals ( 2 to 9 ) for exchanging useful data and control data, which terminals respectively have a buffer for buffering data packets to be transmitted to the radio network controller ( 1 ) via a contention channel, and a measuring device for measuring the occupancy level of at least one buffer. A terminal ( 2 to 9 ) is provided for transmitting a signaling sequence at a start time respectively predefined by the radio network controller ( 1 ) when an occupancy threshold of a buffer or various buffers is exceeded. The radio network controller ( 1 ) includes a device for correlating a signaling sequence sent by a terminal ( 2 to 9 ) and for detecting the pulse developed from a received and correlated signaling sequence. After a signaling sequence assigned to a terminal ( 2 to 9 ) has been detected, the radio network controller ( 1 ) sends an indication to the terminal ( 2 to 9 ) that the data packets are further transmitted over a channel assigned only to the terminal ( 2 to 9 ).
