Abstract
A wireless network system includes a transmitting end and a receiving end which adopt a specific communication protocol for data transmission. Before transmitting a plurality of data packets, the receiving end detects a maximum transmission unit of the specific communication protocol and generates a corresponding synchronization signal. The transmitting end adjusts its cutting rule according to the synchronization signal and segments the plurality of data packets into a plurality of sub data packets, which are then transmitted to the receiving end for packet reassembly.
Claims5
A method of performing IP fragmentation in a wireless network system, comprising:
- performing data transmission between a transmitting end and a receiving end of the wireless network using a communication protocol;
- before transmitting a plurality of data packets, detecting a maximum transmission unit of the communication protocol at the receiving end and transmitting a corresponding synchronization signal from the receiving end to the transmitting end;
- modifying a cutting rule according to the synchronization signal at the transmitting end;
- segmenting the plurality of data packets into a plurality of sub data packets according to the cutting rule;
- and
- transmitting the plurality of sub data packets from the transmitting end to the receiving end.
A wireless network system which performs IP fragmentation, comprising:
- a transmitting end, comprising:
- a segmenting unit configured to modify a cutting rule according to a synchronization signal and segment a plurality of data packets into a plurality of sub data packets according to the cutting rule;
- and
- a receiving end, comprising:
- a synchronization unit configured to detect a maximum transmission unit of a communication protocol adopted by the wireless network system and output the synchronization signal accordingly;
- and
- a reassembly unit configured to reassemble the plurality of sub data packets received from the transmitting end.
