Hybrid base station transceiver with protocol matching units for connecting a wireless terminal to different communication networks based on a signal received from the terminal, and corresponding method and communication system

摘要

A hybrid base station transceiver has an ATM matching unit for connecting a wireless terminal to an ATM-based communication network; an IP matching unit for connecting a wireless terminal to an IP-based communication network; a channel and RF processor for performing physical connection protocol processing and RF transceiving processing with the wireless terminal; and a routing processor for determining which network to which the wireless terminal is to connect to by analyzing a signal of OSI Layer 2 or Layer 3 received from the wireless terminal and for connecting the wireless terminal to the ATM-based or IP-based communication network through the channel and RF processor according to the analysis.
