Abstract:
1. A method for operating a wireless packet-based backhaul connection comprising: (a) establishing a backhaul connection, within an asynchronous wireless network, between a backhaul source and a backhaul destination; (b) determining that data throughput between the backhaul source and the backhaul destination would be improved by adding the payload data of a packet received at the backhaul source to the payload of a new super-packet generated at the backhaul source for transmission to the backhaul destination, wherein determining throughput would be improved, includes factoring a likelihood of collision with other transmissions within the wireless network; (c) generating the new super-packet including at least the data from the received packet, wherein the super-packet is adapted to include payload data from multiple separate packets received at the backhaul source; (d) setting one or more transmission conditions for transmitting the new super-packet, wherein one or more of the transmission conditions relate to a payload capacity of the super-packet and quality of service requirements of constituent packets; and (e) transmitting the new super-packet upon one or more of the transmission conditions being met.
