COMMUNICATION METHODS AND DEVICES USING PHYSICAL CONNECTION POINT IDENTIFIERS WHICH SUPPORT DUAL COMMUNICATION LINES

摘要

FIELD: physics, communications.;SUBSTANCE: invention relates to communication systems. Methods and devices designed for routing messages between an end node and an access node through another access node are described. Physical level identification information is used during identification of, for instance a remote adjacent access node as a message recipient. That way, when a connection identifier based on one or more physical level identifiers is accessible to a wireless terminal, for instance from one or more direct communication line signals received from the recipient access node, the wireless terminal can use a connection identifier which corresponds to the recipient node to route the message through the access node with which a return communication line connection has been set up. Such connection identifier information can be used even when some other addressing information, e.g. network level address information related to the recipient access node, is inaccessible to the wireless terminal.;EFFECT: routing messages between an end node and an access node through another access node.;18 cl, 9 dwg
