Patent ID: 8503341

Claim:
A wireless mobile communication device, comprising: a WiMAX access module, used to access a WiMAX network and receive WiMAX wireless data from the WiMAX network; a switching module, used to be connected to the WiMAX access module and a network processor via a respective Media Independent Interface (MII) so as to realize transparent data transmission between the WiMAX access module and the network processor; and the network processor, used to process the WiMAX wireless data received from the switching module, wherein there is one and only one MII connection between the network processor and the switching module, wherein when the WiMAX access module receives a downlink transmission of the WiMAX wireless data from the WiMAX network, the switching module transparently transmits the WiMAX wireless data received by the WiMAX access module to the network processor for processing, and the network processor transmits the processed data to the switching module for downlink switching and processing, and when the WiMAX access module transmits a uplink transmission of the WiMAX wireless data to the WiMAX network, the network processor transparently transmits the WiMAX wireless data to the WiMAX access module via the switching module for transmission, wherein the switching module further comprises: an external network interface sub-module, used to provide a plurality of external network interfaces; and a switching control sub-module, used to control a data switching function between the plurality of external network interfaces.
