Abstract
Provided are a apparatus and method for transmitting data and a apparatus and method for receiving data, in which a transmitting station sets priorities among a plurality of data to be transmitted and a receiving station processes the plurality of data according to the priorities. The apparatus for transmitting data includes a packet-generation module which generates a plurality of data and a packet that includes the plurality of data and that specifies priorities between the plurality of data; and a communication module which transmits the packet through a communication channel.
Claims25
An apparatus for transmitting data, the apparatus comprising:
- a packet-generation module which generates a plurality of data and a packet, wherein the packet comprises the plurality of data and specifies processing priorities of the plurality of data in a MAC header of the packet;
- and
- a communication module which transmits the packet through a communication channel,
- wherein the packet further comprises a priority field indicating the processing priorities of the plurality of data in the MAC header of the packet;
- wherein the MAC header comprises a MAC control header field, which comprises a packet control field, which comprises a MAC control field, which comprises the priority field.
An apparatus for receiving data, the apparatus comprising:
- a communication module which receives a packet through a communication channel;
- a packet-analysis module which identifies processing priorities of a plurality of data included in a MAC header of the packet;
- and
- a central processing unit (CPU) which processes the plurality of data according to the identified priorities,
- wherein the packet further comprises a priority field indicating the processing priorities of the plurality of data in the MAC header of the packet;
- wherein the MAC header comprises a MAC control header field, which comprises a packet control field, which comprises a MAC control field, which comprises the priority field.
A method of transmitting data, the method comprising:
- generating a plurality of data and a packet, wherein the packet comprises the plurality of data and specifies processing priorities of the plurality of data in a MAC header of the packet;
- and
- transmitting the packet through a communication channel,
- wherein the packet further comprises a priority field indicating the processing priorities of the plurality of data in the MAC header of the packet;
- wherein the MAC header comprises a MAC control header field, which comprises a packet control field, which comprises a MAC control field, which comprises the priority field.
A method of receiving data, the method comprising:
- receiving a packet through a communication channel;
- identifying processing priorities among a plurality of data included in a MAC header of the packet;
- and
- processing the plurality of data according to the processing priorities which are identified,
- wherein the packet further comprises a priority field indicating the processing priorities of the plurality of data in the MAC header of the packet;
- wherein the MAC header comprises a MAC control header field, which comprises a packet control field, which comprises a MAC control field, which comprises the priority field.
