The present invention provides a radio system which meets the demand of third generation radio interfaces for greater flexibility and adaptability, by subdividing the radio interface, and its associated functions, into smaller units. Each of these smaller units has a well defined interface with other interface units. A radio communications system, according to the invention, employs a plurality of logical communication channels and has control units for allocating radio resources and for configuring the logical transport channels. Radio transport is effected by means of a plurality of function units, each of which has a function unit specification list associated therewith. The function unit specification lists each include at least two function specifications defining input formats, output formats and signalling, for each function unit. A transport control means is adapted to select a function specification for each function unit from the function unit specification list associated with each function unit. |
