Patent ID: 8422404

Claim:
A method for transmitting a packet with a transmission device, the method comprising: determining a concatenated quantity of a plurality of first packets for a first channel based on size of each of the first packets, wherein the first packets for the first channel are able to be sequentially transmitted in a plurality of communication cycles; generating a first concatenated packet for the first channel based on the concatenated quantity, the first concatenated packet for the first channel including packet data fragments of the plurality of first packets for the first channel and packet information corresponding to the first packets for the first channel; transmitting the first concatenated packet for the first channel in any one of the plurality of communication cycles; generating a subsequent first concatenated packet for the first channel based on the concatenated quantity, the subsequent first concatenated packet for the first channel including packet data fragments of a plurality of subsequent first packets for the first channel, which follow the plurality of first packets for the first channel, and packet information corresponding to the subsequent first packets for the first channel, wherein each of the subsequent first packets for the first channel has the size of each of the first packets for the first channel; and after transmission of the first concatenated packet for the first channel, transmitting each subsequent first concatenated packet for the first channel in every N-th communication cycle, wherein N is the concatenated quantity and an integer greater than or equal to 2.
