Abstract
System and method for improving the use of radio spectrum in transmission of data, according to which the payload information of any known line interface is divided into a plurality of data portions of smaller which are then grouped into packets so as to be subsequently radio transmitted. For transmission of such packets, suitable radio channels are selected. The invention also relates to reception of such radio channels having such packets incorporated therein, wherein the received packets are then transformed into payload information for inputting into corresponding line interfaces.
Claims21
A method of radio transmitting a payload information of a line interface (4) the method comprising the steps of:
- dividing the payload into a plurality of data portions,
- grouping a data portion so as to form a packet,
- selecting an available radio channel, suitable for incorporating said packet in said radio channel,
- incorporating at least one packet in the selected radio channel, and
- transmitting, said selected radio channel with said at least one packet incorporated in the radio channel.
A packet processor for transmitting or receiving a payload information of a line interface the packet processor comprising:
- a framer for dividing a payload into a plurality of data portions and for grouping a data portion so as to form a packet,
- a clock unit for providing a clock signal to said packet,
- a packet builder for adding a header to said packet.
