In order to transmit data packets between a wirelessly connectable communications device and a communications partner, particularly during a handover process, the invention provides that when a first wireless transmission path is available, an availability of at least one additional wireless transmission path is detected. Based on the detection, a specific assignment schema, via which at least one portion of the data packets is assigned to each of the transmission paths, is selected according to specific transmission requirements and/or to a transmission protocol to be used for transmitting the data packets. An address specification specific to the transmission path is then assigned to a respective data packet that is assigned to a transmission path. By using the assigned address specifications, the data packets are transmitted via the different transmission paths between the communications device and the communications partner according to the selected assignment schema.
