METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SIMULTANEOUS CIRCUITSWITCHED VOICE AND GPRS DATA INTERCHANGE.

摘要

A simplified version of a defined GPRSEDGE Class A mobile station (202) that incorporates transmission and reception of GPRSEDGE data during discontinuous transmission and reception modes on a dedicated traffic channel (204), and that includes a mechanism for streaming GPRSEDGE data to and from a packetswitched channel, along with optional association of a voice time slot with one or more GPRSEDGE data time slots. GPRSEDGE packet data and circuitswitched voice data are simultaneously transmitting along a dedicated GSM voice traffic channel (204) by transmitting the GPRSEDGE packet data (212) between occurences of circuitswitched voice data (208) and silence descriptor frame data (210) along a dedicated voice traffic channel (204).
