Communication method and communication equipment
First Claim
1. A communication method suitable for use in a communication system comprising a base station for transmitting data therefrom and receiving data therein through the use of a plurality of packets each having a header including destination information and a payload storing the data therein, and a terminal station for communicating with said base station through a communication channel, comprising the steps of:
- multiplexing a plurality of input packets into a transmission frame and transmitting the transmission frame; and
outputting the plurality of packets restored from the received transmission frame;
said transmission frame including a preamble, a frame header part, a frame header part error correction code, a frame payload part and a frame payload part error correction code, said frame header part being formed from respective headers of said plurality of packets, and said frame payload part being formed from respective payloads of said plurality of packets.

Abstract
An object of the present invention is to improve transmission efficiency of a communication system for forming a transmission frame from a plurality of packets to perform communications using the transmission frame and reduce transmission power required to maintain an error rate. Headers of the plurality of packets are coupled to each other with redundancy information deleted therefrom so as to form a header part of the transmission frame. Further, payloads of the plurality of packets are coupled to each other so as to form a payload part of the transmission frame. A forward error correction code used for the header part and a forward error correction code used for the payload part are respectively attached to the transmission frame in isolation.

6. Communication equipment suitable for use in a communication network for transmitting a plurality of packets each having a header including destination information and a payload storing data therein, comprising:
-
a transmitting interface for multiplexing the plurality of packets so as to generate a transmission frame; and a receiving interface for restoring the original plural packets from the transmission frame with the multiplexed plural packets; said transmitting interface including, a header analyzing part for analyzing the header of said each packet; a data coupling part for coupling the headers of the packets to each other to thereby generate a frame header part and coupling the payloads corresponding to the headers to each other to thereby generate a frame payload part; an error correction addition part for adding an error correction code to the frame header part and adding an error correction code to the frame payload part; and a preamble addition part for providing a preamble; and said receiving interface including, an error correction circuit for performing an error correction based on the error correction code added to the frame header part and an error correction based on the error correction code added to the frame payload part; and a packet reconstruction part for taking out headers and their corresponding payloads divided into the frame header part and the frame payload part to thereby reconstruct the packets. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11)
