Method for Processing Packets of the IP Type Intended to be Carried Over a Communications Channel of a Wireless Network, and Equipment for Same
First Claim
1. A method for processing packets of the IP type within equipment of a wireless communications network comprising an encapsulation of the packets within frames carried over a communications channel of the wireless network, wherein the said encapsulation comprises a first encapsulation of the signalling packets of the IP type within a frame of a first type containing an indication associated with this type of packet, then an additional encapsulation of the said frame of the first type within a frame of a second type different from the first type, and an encapsulation of the packets transporting the user data of the IP type within a frame of a third type then an additional encapsulation of the said frame of the third type within a frame of the second type.

Abstract
A method for processing packets of the IP type within equipment of a wireless communications network comprising an encapsulation of the packets within frames carried over a communications channel of the wireless network. The said encapsulation comprises a first encapsulation of the signalling packets of the IP type within a frame of a first type containing an indication associated with this type of packet, then an additional encapsulation of the said frame of the first type within a frame of a second type different from the first type, and a second encapsulation of the packets transporting the user data of the IP type within a frame of a third type then an additional encapsulation of the said frame of the third type within a frame of the second type.

5. Equipment of a wireless communications network comprising first means configured for delivering packets of the IP type, and encapsulation means configured for encapsulating the packets within frames intended to be carried over a communications channel of a wireless network, wherein the encapsulation means comprises:
-
a first encapsulation block configured for carrying out an encapsulation within a frame of a first type, a second encapsulation block configured for carrying out an encapsulation within a frame of a second type, different from the first type, and a third encapsulation block comprising two sub-blocks configured for carrying out an encapsulation within a frame of a third type, and the equipment furthermore comprises control means capable, by means of the first sub-block of the third block, of delivering a signalling packet of the IP type to the first encapsulation block then of delivering the said frame of the first type to the second encapsulation block, the first block furthermore being capable of incorporating into the frame of the first type an indication associated with this type of packet, and the control means are capable of delivering a packet of data of the IP type to the second sub-block of the third encapsulation block then of delivering the said frame of the third type to the second encapsulation block. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9, 10)
