Abstract
To address the need for conveying data to a base site ( ) and communication unit ( ) without substantially introducing congestion or delay to the network used, the present invention provides two methods and a data gateway apparatus. The data gateway ( ) upon receiving a data packet addressed to a communication unit ( ), divides the data packet into data blocks and generates transmission data packets which can be transmitted from a base site ( ) to the communication unit ( ) in individual time slots. The transmission data packets, being smaller than the data packet, do not introduce substantial delay to an infrastructure network ( ) and are conveyed over time to prevent congestion.
