Mobile packet data communication in a TDMA cellular system

A PDC mobile packet data communication system (PDC-P) is proposed. The PDC-P enables PDC users to send and receive packet data in the connectionless environment of multimedia mobile communications. Its main features are high throughput of user packet data, flexibility in response to service demands, and linkage with voice services. This paper describes the proposed functions, architecture, and signaling for a PDC-P network. It also discusses new techniques for network routing control and radio transmission control.
