System and method for communication connection via heterogeneous networks
First Claim
1. A method for communication connection in a wireless network comprising a plurality of wireless bridges individually associated with at least one electronic device, performing the steps of:
- (a) a first electronic device transmitting a first data packet to a first wireless bridge, the first data packet comprising a source address for a first identity corresponding to the first electronic device, and a destination address for a second identity corresponding to a second electronic device;
(b) the first wireless bridge attaching a first tunnel header to the first data packet to form a first wireless data packet, and transmitting the first wireless data packet via the wireless network, the first tunnel header comprising a third identity corresponding to the first wireless bridge;
(c) a second wireless bridge receiving the first wireless data packet via the wireless network, removing the first tunnel header therefrom to acquire a second data packet, storing an association relationship between the first electronic device and the first wireless bridge, and transmitting the second data packet to the second electronic device; and
(d) the second electronic device receiving the second data packet, respectively employing the first identity and the second identity as a destination address and a source address, and transmitting data to the first electronic device.

Abstract
A method for communication connection via heterogeneous networks. A first electronic device transmits a first data packet to a first wireless bridge. The first wireless bridge attaches a first tunnel header to the first data packet to form a first wireless data packet, and transmits the first wireless data packet via the wireless network. A second wireless bridge receives the first wireless data packet via the wireless network, removing the first tunnel header therefrom to acquire a second data packet, stores an association relationship between the first electronic device and the first wireless bridge, and transmits the second data packet to the second electronic device. The second electronic device receives the second data packet and transmits data to the first electronic device.
