METHOD AND DEVICE TO USE SHORT ADDRESSES IN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC H04L29/12 

FIELD: information technologies.

SUBSTANCE: methods and device are described to implement connection between access terminal (AT) and remote device via access point (AP). For connection via over-the-air communication line, between AP and AT, for routing of packets to/from remote device, a short address is used, corresponding to remote device. To maintain connection between AP and remote device, a longer address is used, for instance, full IP-address, corresponding to remote device. AT performs transformation between long and short addresses, while information, for instance, packets, is sent between remote device and AT. A long address, for instance, may be IP-address, corresponding to remote device, used to route packets via tunnel of level 2 between remote device and AP. In some versions of realisation, a remote device is a remote point of access.

EFFECT: saving resources of over-the-air communication line.
