Abstract: An edge router 12 sends a router advertisement to wireless terminals 11 to notify the wireless terminals 11 of the hop limit. Each wireless terminals 11 stores the notified hop limit in the hop limit field of an IPv6 packet. The edge router 12 stores the maximum number of hops in the user's home system 1 and the maximum number of hops in the IP network NW. When receiving a communication packet sent from the user's home system 1 to the IP network NW, the edge router 12 sets the hop limit in the communication packet to the maximum number of hops in the IP network NW. When receiving a communication packet sent from the IP network NW to the user's home system 1, the edge router 12 sets the hop limit in the communication packet to the maximum number of hops in the user's home system 1.

The second communication module is designed for carrier sensing. An instruction is communicated from the first communication module to the second communication module to begin sensing a channel on behalf of the first communication module. Next, the first communication module is informed of channel activity status by the second communication module. Thereafter, the first communication module transmits on the channel when no activity is detected on the channel.

Abstract: A communication method for reducing Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection setup time in an Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN) includes the step of using an inclusive Signalling Radio Bearer (iSRB) in place of a plurality of individual Signalling Radio Bearers (indSRBs) for transferring signals from Radio Resource Control (RRC) to Medium Access Control (MAC). A Protocol Discriminator (PD) is added to the tail (right side) of each indSRB at the RRC for allowing the MAC to identify each indSRB as received in the iSRB. The PD is needed because the MAC would otherwise be unable to place each indSRB into the appropriate prioritizing queue for trans-mission to the physical layer. The PD is stripped off at the MAC. A preferred embodiment uses the iSRB in place of four individual indSRBs (SRB1, SRB2, SRB3 and SRB4), but in an alternative form the Unacknowledged Mode SRB (SRBI) would not be present in the system and therefore not included in the iSRB.
