Wireless communications system
First Claim
1. A communications system, comprising:
- a base station and mobile terminals;
said base station having an air interface for implementing wireless, first partial connections to said mobile terminals and a network interface to a communication network configured to establish second partial connections to further terminals, wherein voice data to be transmitted in each case are transmitted within data packets to be transmitted asynchronously for the first and second partial connections;
the individual data packets each containing an address information item unambiguously specifying one of the mobile terminals or further terminals in the communication network as a transmission destination and directing the data packets to the respective transmission destination within the communication network;
said base station including a router configured to allocate data packets arriving in existing first or second partial connections to second or first partial connections in dependence on the address information item contained in each data packet, a detector device for checking the data packets with respect to quasi-real-time requirements of applications allocated to the data packets via priority information contained in individual data packets, and a prioritizing device configured to initiate a preferred transmission of data packets allocated to quasi-real-time applications; and
said mobile terminals each having a voice processing device configured for at least one of compressing voice data to be transmitted to said base station and decompressing compressed voice data transmitted to the respective mobile terminal.

Abstract
A communications system includes a base station and mobile terminals. Voice data are transmitted within data packets in asynchronous transmission. The base station has an air interface for implementing first partial connections to the mobile terminals and a network interface to a communication network via which second partial connections to further terminals can be implemented. The base station also contains a router for allocating data packets which arrive in existing first or second partial connections to second or first partial connections. The allocation is done in dependence on an address information item which specifies a terminal in the sense of a transmission destination and is in each case contained in the individual data packets. The mobile terminals also contain in each case a voice compression device and/or a voice decompression device.
