Abstract
Service provider flexibility in wireless network configuration is enhanced by first and second interconnection protocols which enable flexibility in mobile switching center/base station communications. This communication flexibility allows service providers to control, on a call-by-call basis, the operation of the wireless telecommunications network.
Claims14
An interface for establishing exchange of data between a mobile switching center and at least one base station in a wireless telecommunications system comprises:
- a first interconnection protocol establishing a link between the base station and a system for frame selection and voice coding;
- and
- a second interconnection protocol for establishing a link between the base station and the system for frame selection and voice coding.
An interface for establishing exchange of data between a mobile switching center and at least one base station in a wireless telecommunications system comprises:
- a first interconnection protocol establishing a link between the base station and a system for frame selection and termination of a radio link protocol;
- and
- a second interconnection protocol for establishing a link between the base station and the system for frame selection and termination of a radio link protocol.
An interface for establishing exchange of data between a mobile switching center and at least one base station in a wireless telecommunications system comprises:
- a first interconnection protocol establishing a link between the base station and a system for voice coding;
- and
- a second interconnection protocol for establishing a link between the base station and the system for voice coding.
A wireless telecommunications system comprises:
- a selection/distribution unit (SDU) interconnected to a first interconnection processor of a first base station via a first interconnection protocol;
- the SDU interconnected to a second interconnection processor of a second base station via a first interconnection protocol;
- the SDU interconnected to a first call control processor of the first base station via a second interconnection protocol;
- the SDU interconnected to a second call control processor of the second base station via a second interconnection protocol.
A wireless telecommunications system including a mobile switching center interconnected to a plurality of base stations comprises:
- a selection/distribution unit (SDU) located in a first base station interconnected to a call control processor and an interconnection processor in a second base station;
- and
- the SDU interconnected to a switch fabric positioned in the mobile switching center wherein communication between the mobile switching center and base stations is transmitted via the SDU.
A wireless telecommunications system comprises:
- an interworking processor interconnected to a mobile switching center via a first user data traffic link and a selection/distribution unit (SDU) via a second user data traffic link;
- the SDU interconnected to an interconnection processor of at least one base station via a first interconnection protocol;
- and
- the SDU interconnected to a call control processor of at least one base station via a second interconnection protocol.
