Abstract
A telecommunication system includes a base station, a router allocated to the base station, and several subscriber stations that are connected to the base station via an access network. Subscriber station routers set up a telecommunication link with the base station router. The base station router controls the variable transfer rates that are allocated to a telecommunication link between the base station and the subscriber station. The access network is only loaded with the transfer bandwidth that is actually required for data transmission.
Claims16
A telecommunication system, comprising:
- a) a base station;
- b) at least one base station-router allocated to the base station;
- c) several subscriber stations with respective subscriber station-routers connected via a connection network at variable transmission rates with the base station, for creating a telecommunication link with said at least one base station-router;
- and
- d) said at least one base station-router being operative for dynamically controlling and concentrating the variable transmission rate dynamically allocated to each telecommunication link between the base station and each subscriber station, the dynamically allocated transmission rate being dynamically assigned to the subscriber stations in accordance with bandwidth available between the base station and the at least one base station-router.
A method of transmitting data between a base station and several subscriber stations, comprising the steps of:
- a) allocating the base station to a base station-router;
- b) dynamically allocating several subscriber stations to respective subscriber station-routers to create a telecommunication link with the base station-router;
- and
- c) controlling and concentrating a variable data transmission rate dynamically allocated to each telecommunication link between the base station and each subscriber station, the dynamically allocated transmission rate being dynamically assigned to the subscriber stations in accordance with bandwidth available between the base station and the base station-router.
