The invention relates to a method for establishing a link through which at least one data stream is to be transmitted. A first communication facility and a second communication facility form a first and second end of the link, respectively. A first base station is connected to the first communication facility, and a second base station is connected to the second communication facility, the first base station having preselected the second base station from among a plurality of base stations. The method includes the following steps, implemented by the first communication facility: extracting an identifier of the first base station and an identifier of the second base station, said identifiers being included in a message transmitted by the first base station; and establishing the link between the first communication facility and the second communication facility from the extracted identifier of the first base station and the extracted identifier of the second base station.
A method for establishing a link in an Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) layer 2 or 3 via which at least one data stream is intended to be transmitted, a first unit of communications equipment and a second unit of communications equipment respectively forming a first and a second end of the link, a first base station being connected to the first unit of communications equipment, and a second base station being connected to the second unit of communications equipment, wherein the first base station has selected the second base station from amongst a plurality of base stations in anticipation of a handover procedure, the method implemented by the first unit of communications equipment and comprising:
A method of communication between a base station and a unit of communications equipment to which the base station is connected, the base station selected from amongst a plurality of base stations, in anticipation of a handover procedure, a second base station connected to a second unit of communications equipment, a link in the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) layer 2 or 3 via which at least one data stream is intended to be transmitted, the link being intended to be established between the first and the second unit of communications equipment, wherein the method comprises sending a message to the first unit of communications equipment, the message comprising an identifier of the first base station and an identifier of the second base station.
A unit of communications equipment forming a first end of a link in the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) layer 2 or 3 via which at least one data stream is intended to be transmitted, a second unit of communications equipment forming a second end of the link, a first base station being connected to the unit of communications equipment, and a second base station being connected to the second unit of communications equipment, wherein the first base station has selected the second base station from amongst a plurality of base stations in anticipation of a handover procedure, wherein the unit of communications equipment is configured to:
A base station, connected to a first unit of communications equipment and selected from amongst a plurality of base stations, in anticipation of a handover procedure, a second base station connected to a second unit of communications equipment, a link in the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) layer 2 or 3 via which at least one data stream is intended to be transmitted, the link being intended to be established between the first and the second unit of communications equipment, wherein the base station is configured to send a message to the first unit of communications equipment, the message comprising an identifier of the first base station and an identifier of the second base station.
