Radio LAN data transmission system, radio LAN data transmission method, and computer product
First Claim
1. A radio LAN data transmission system comprising:
- a host station, a relay station having a plurality of access points, and a mobile station having a radio LAN apparatus that transmits data to and receives data from the host station via the relay station, wherein the radio LAN apparatus includes a memory unit that temporarily stores transmission data that is data to be transmitted to an access point; and
a memory control unit that provides a control to store the transmission data in the memory unit at the time of switching from one access point to another access point, and to transmit the transmission data to the another access point when the radio LAN apparatus establishes a communication link with the another access point.

Abstract
If a radio LAN apparatus moves from a communication range of a first access point to a communication range of a second access point, and if communication link between the radio LAN apparatus and the first access point is broken, a memory control section stops transmitting data to the first access point. At this time, data to be transmitted to the first access point are not deleted from memory. After the radio LAN apparatus enters the communication range of the second access point, the memory control section resumes transmission of the data stored in the memory. Thereafter, the next data are transmitted. Thus, the data is transmitted in proper sequence.

14. A radio LAN data transmission method of transmitting data between a mobile station having a radio LAN apparatus and a host station, via a relay station having a plurality of access points, comprising:
-
temporarily storing transmission data in the radio LAN apparatus;
detecting whether a link between the radio LAN apparatus and any one of the access points is established;
reading the transmission data stored when it is detected at the detecting that a link between the radio LAN apparatus and any one of the access points has been established. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16)
