METHOD FOR ESTIMATING THE TRANSFER TIME FOR PACKETS OF A WIRELESS NETWORK

摘要

At least one of the packet switches (32) of a wireless communications network (20) constitutes a bridge between this network and a fixed packet transmission network (12). According to the inventive method, one or more measuring messages are transmitted to a mobile terminal (23) in response to a request for the transfer time of a packet from this mobile terminal. The time taken to transfer the packet between the mobile terminal and a bridge (32) of the wireless communications network and optionally, the time taken to transfer the packet between the bridge (32) and a remote unit (35, 36) is determined using the measuring message received by the mobile terminal.
