Abstract:
1. A method of operating a mobile wireless network, comprising: configuring at least one protocol entity of a first convergence protocol layer of a first wireless station as a function of a configuration request received from a second wireless station, wherein the configuring includes specifying multiplexing properties to define at least one user, and wherein the data units of the at least one user are assembled by the at least one protocol entity from the respective received user data before transmitting, in a multiplexed manner, to the link control layer via the carrier; supplying user data to the first convergence protocol layer by at least one user in a network layer; assembling the user data into at least one first data unit by the at least one protocol entity of the first convergence protocol layer, wherein the at least one first data unit is assembled before a transmission to a second convergence protocol layer of the second wireless station; transmitting the at least one first data unit to a link control layer via a carrier; and transmitting, from the first wireless station to the second wireless station, a communication indicating which settings of the at least one protocol entity are supported by the first wireless station before receiving the configuration request from the second wireless station.
