METHOD OF PRESERVING DATA PACKET SEQUENCING

摘要

A method of preserving data packet sequencing between nodes in a radio telecommunications network in which the User Datagram Protocol/Internet Protocol (UDP/IP) (6-7) is utilized to communicate between the nodes (13-16) of the network. Sequencing numbers are added to the headers of a plurality of data packets which are transmitted over a plurality of data transmission paths. The UDP/IP protocol is adapted with a resequencing layer (8) which is utilized at the receiving node (17) to resequence the packets.
