APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING DATA AND FACSIMILE SERVICES IN A RF COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

A new data circuit equipment (DCE) (303) coupled to an IWF (115) and a terminal adapter (TA) (306) coupled to a mobile station provide interconnection within a RF communication system such that Class 2 service common to wireline network equipment can be beneficially employed in the wireline RF communication system. The new DCE (303) and TA (306) are transparent to external wireline systems while maintaining compatibility with, inter alia, the predetermined data service protocol layers of the RF communication system, the RF air-interface and/or radio link protocol (RLP) of the RF communication system.
