Signaling data link for a GSM-CDMA air interface

摘要

In a GSM mobile wireless telecommunications system, a method for conveying signaling between a mobile station (40) and a base station (30) and (32) via a CDMA air interface includes generating a signaling message based on a GSM interface standard. Data link services are provided to process the message for transmission over the CDMA air interface, and the processed message is then transmitted over the CDMA air interface. Preferably, the data link services are provided by a data link layer (54), which produces an IS-95 message for transmission.
