Abstract:
A method of conserving bandwidth in sending plural message packets over a radio network where each radio is defined by a unique radio network address and where each message packet is addressed to a destination station in communication with one such radio comprising the steps of:a) determining the unique radio network address of the radio associated with the destination station for each message packet; b) conglomerating plural message packets destined for a common radio network address into a conglomerated assembly; c) framing the conglomerated assembly; d) compressing the conglomerated assembly prior to transmission e) transmitting the conglomerated assembly over the radio network to the common radio network address; f) receiving and reformatting the conglomerated assembly into individual message packets; and g) delivering the individual message packets to their respective destination stations whereby plural message packets are transmitted as a conglomerated assembly rather than as individual message packets and wherein the step of compressing includes the step of evaluating the size of the compressed assembly with the size of the uncompressed assembly.
