Abstract
In a method for controlling the data flow on a radio link between a WLAN base station and a WLAN mobile station, the data rate on the radio link is reduced for in each case one time period (36, 37) at time intervals (35). One preferred field of application for the method is to restrict general or unauthorized transmission of a telephone call via the Internet.
Claims10
A method for controlling the data flow in a radio link between a wireless local area network (WLAN) base station and a WLAN mobile station with the radio link having synchronous data traffic and asynchronous data traffic, comprising:
- a) transmission of data burst at time intervals, wherein at predetermined time intervals the data burst transmission is delayed by a predetermined time;
- and
- b) checking of a user status of the WLAN mobile station with the result of the check from b) governing whether a) is carried out, if the user status does not authorize use of the synchronous data service, then the reduction in data rate is activated, and if the user status authorizes use of the synchronous data service, then the reduction in data rate is deactived.
