METHOD FOR TRANSMITTING PACKETS IN AN ACKNOWLEDGE MODE THROUGH TEMPORARY BLOCK FLOWS AND A CONTROL UNIT FOR CARRYING OUT SAID MEHTOD

摘要

The inventive method consists in transmitting packets between a transmitting station (10) and a control unit (22) through a block flow which is temporarily established for transmissible packets. A packet sequence is transmitted from the transmitting station in an acknowledge mode by means of a first temporary block flow of the transmitting station to the control unit. Upon receipt of a feedback packet sent to the transmitting station when said packet sequence is still being transmitted from the transmitting station, the control unit opens a second temporary block flow in the direction of the transmitting station. Transmission of the feedback packet through the second temporary block flow is delayed in an attempt to group several feedback packets with acknowledgements in the second temporary block flow.
