Field: Digital communication (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H  G | IPC G  H

Claim 16:
17. A method, comprising:
converting a first user data packet to a first user message for transmission over a primary communication channel from a transmission station;
wherein the first user message isa longer than the first user data packet;
transmitting the first user message from the tansmission station over the primary communication channel;
receiving a second user packet at the transmission station;
determining transmission of the first user message over the primary communication channel is in process;
calculating a message transmission time of the second user data packet over the primary communication channel;
calculating an inter-message transmission time;
wherein the inter-message transmission time represents a cut-off time wherein the primary communication channel is faster than a backend communication channel;
wherein the primary communication channnel has lower bandwidth and latency than the backend communication channel; and
determining not to transmit the second user data over the primary communication channel when the message transmission time is longer the inter-message transmission time.
