Abstract

The Service Transmit Equipment (STE) in the invention has one wireless networking interface communicating to a plurality of Client Utility Equipments (CUE) forming a cell network. The STE is the node router of the cell network. The cell network connects to other networks via the STE. A plurality of cell networks connect together to a core network forms a service wireless network system. The CUE is the edge network traffic control equipment; each connects to a plurality of clients with different service agreement predefined. The CUE controls the transition of the network packets from or to its clients. Only useful network packets from clients can be allowed into the service network. The system maintains a high efficiency of internal bandwidth utilization, and can service clients with a versatile networking performance.

Claims

1. A wireless networking system for providing connections to a plurality of client networks with different service levels comprising a plurality of Service Transmit Units (STE) and a plurality of Client Utility Units (CUE);

Whereby, one said STE communicating with a plurality of said CUEs via wireless communication links forming a cell network; and

Wherein, said STE is the network node device for said CUEs of the same said cell network; and

Whereby, said CUE can be connecting to a plurality of client networks; and

Wherein, said CUE is the gateway device of client networks; and

Wherein, said CUE controls the connection service levels of it client networks; and

Whereby, a plurality of said STEs are connecting to a common main network; and

Whereby, a plurality of said cell networks connecting to a main network via their own said STE'"'"'s networking interface forming the said wireless networking system.

2. The STE of claim 1 has routing capability to route networking packet between the main network and the said CUEs of claim 1 in the same cell network of claim 1;

Whereby, a networking packet enters said STE from the main network side is routed by the said STE and transmitted to the corresponding target CUE in the same cell network of claim 1;

Whereby, a networking packet enters the said STE from the communicating CUE of the same said cell network is routed and transmitted to target through the main network.

3. The CUE of claim 1 has routing capability and network bandwidth control capabilities, said CUE is the gateway device of its client networks, said CUE controls the network bandwidth between the said CUE and said client networks, said routing capability of the said CUE routes the networking packet among the said STE of claim 1 and client networks of claim 1;

Whereby, a network packet enters said CUE from the uplink STE is routed towards the target said client network and deliver to target said client network according to bandwidth control setting;

Whereby, a networking packet enters said CUE is forwarded towards its uplink said STE and delivered to said STE according to the bandwidth control setting.
