摘要 |
The invention provides both a fixed and a mobile data telecommunication service using a fixed code, direct sequence spread spectrum, connection-free data protocol as an overlay on cellular or PCS wireless services. A wide band connectionless data protocol is employed to transmit packetized digital data from a variety of home sources e.g. www inputs, e-mail, utility meter readings, security system data, to a local cellular or PCS communications hub station. From the hub station the cellular/PCS provider routes the packet data into packet networks for delivery to a variety of recipient parties designated by address within the packets themselves. The data capability is provided as a supplement to the existing communications capability of the cellular/PCS system and overlays, but does not destructively interfere with, the pre-existing voice connection oriented services.
