Abstract:
A method for cellular network operation includes establishing a transport network communication link in a cellular network between first and second infrastructure cellular entities. A first transport link control function is established within the first infrastructure cellular entity, and a pair transport link control function is established within the second infrastructure cellular entity. Data packets are transmitted through the first and second transport link control functions on the transport network communication link while allocating sequence numbers by the first transport link control function to the transmitted data packets. The pair transport link control function detects, based on the sequence numbers, a loss of a data packet transmitted by the first transport link control function and transmits a status report to the first transport link control function. The forwarding of user traffic from the first infrastructure cellular entity to the second infrastructure cellular entity is controlled responsively to the reports.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for cellular network operation, comprising:\n establishing a transport network communication link in a cellular network between a first infrastructure cellular entity and a second infrastructure cellular entity for transmitting data packets containing user traffic; establishing a first transport link control function within the first infrastructure cellular entity at one side of the transport network communication link and a pair transport link control function within the second infrastructure cellular entity at the other side of the transport network communication link; transmitting data packets through the first transport link control function to the pair transport link control function through the transport network communication link while allocating sequence numbers by the first transport link control function to the transmitted data packets; detecting by the pair transport link control function based on the sequence numbers a loss of a data packet transmitted by the first transport link control function; transmitting a status report indicative of the loss of the data packet to the first transport link control function from the pair transport link control function; transmitting reports from at least one of the first and second transport link control functions to a central controller or coordinator of at least one base station in the cellular network regarding a behavior of the transport network communication link; and responsively to the reports, controlling forwarding of user traffic from the first infrastructure cellular entity to the second infrastructure cellular entity.
