Title:
METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR TRANSFERRING IP PACKETS BY AGGREGATING MULTIPLE WIRELESS COMMUNICATION CHANNELS FOR HIGH DATA RATE TRANSFERS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2003036886
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A mobile wireless terminal (MWT) (206) receives IP packets (404) destined for a ground network (234) in a predetermined sequence order. The MWT (206) fragments each of the IP packets into many smaller packet fragments (406), appends identifying information to each of the packet fragments (408), and transmits the packet fragments in parallel with one another (416) over concurrently operating satellite channels (240a-240n). A receiving station (180) receives the packet fragments (904) transmitted by the MWT (206). The receiving station (180) forwards the received packet fragments to a ground controller (232) over a network connection, based on the identifying information appended to the packet fragments. The ground controller (232) combines the packet fragments (908) into reconstructed IP packets based on the identifying information appended to the fragments. The ground controller (232) also sequences the reconstructed IP packets (1006) in the predetermined sequence order based on the identifying information. The ground controller (232) forwards the reconstructed IP packets (1008) in the correct sequence order to the destination ground network (234). The same sequence of events occur in the opposite direction as well i.e., from the ground controller to the MWT (206).
