Abstract:
1. A method of processing, in a transmitter, a data unit of a first protocol layer for transmission in a data unit based communication system, comprising the steps of: passing to a second protocol layer a given data unit of said first protocol layer that is to be transmitted, said second protocol layer lying below said first protocol layer; measuring one or more numeric values, said one or more numeric values belonging to at least one numerically quantifiable parameter associated with said given data unit of said first protocol layer; embedding said given data unit of said first protocol layer into one or more data units of said second protocol layer, in an embedding operation; adjusting a transmission control procedure for said one or more data units of said second protocol layer that embeds said given data unit of said first protocol layer; wherein said embedding operation or said step of adjusting the transmission control procedure is performed in accordance with said one or more numeric values of said at least one numerically quantifiable parameter; and transmitting said one or more data units of said second protocol layer according to the adjusted transmission control procedure.
