METHOD FOR PROCESSING TRAFFIC IN AN INTERMEDIATE ACCESS POINT
First Claim
1. A method for processing traffic destined for a Base Station (BS) received from one or more terminals in an intermediate access point supporting two or more communication schemes, the method comprising:
- receiving traffic from the one or more terminals according to a first communication scheme;
measuring a congestion level of the received traffic;
transmitting a first traffic being part of the received traffic to a second intermediate access point according to a second communication scheme, if the congestion level is a predetermined threshold or higher; and
transmitting a second traffic being remaining traffic of the received traffic except the first traffic to the BS.

8. An intermediate access point apparatus supporting two or more communication schemes, comprising:
-
a first communication module for receiving traffic from one or more terminals according to a first communication scheme; a second communication module for transmitting traffic to a second intermediate access point apparatus according to a second communication scheme; a third communication module for transmitting traffic to a Base Station (BS) according to a third communication scheme; and a processor for measuring a congestion level of the traffic received at the first communication module, and if the congestion level is a predetermined threshold or higher, controlling a first traffic being part of the traffic received at the first communication module to be transmitted to the second intermediate access point through the second communication module and a second traffic being remaining traffic of the traffic received at the first communication module except the first traffic to be transmitted to the BS through the third communication module. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
