Method of and apparatus for communicating data packets in a wireless network of a metropolitan area

Abstract

Method and terminal (100, 100 ') for digital transmission via a wireless communication path (102) and at high transfer rates, namely several times 100 Mb / s, especially for big city networks. In the terminal, access media (MAC) (222) for the media is used to receive data packets in the Fast Ethernet category, a multiplex unit with a total of n inputs to receive data packets from a corresponding number of units (222) and so on the output of the multiplexer results in time division multiplexed data, and a packet feeding apparatus (228) for converting the data output in multiplexed form to specific sequences, here called radio frames (350). A transmitter / receiver (212, 214) transmits them over the communication path (102), having a maximum bandwidth capacity of at least nx10OMb / s. Each of the access control units (222) may include a control logic unit (250) for controlling the transmission rate, and buffer bearings (252) for temporarily storing the data packets received by the units (222) before continuing to the multiplexer inputs. The units (222) may include switches (600) according to layer two or layer wood according to the standard, and the switches have a 100 Mb / s port. The maximum transmission rate will then only be limited by the bandwidth of the communication path (102).
