Abstract

Abstract This invention relates to a method of data transfer via a radio telephone network between a LAN (1) and a Mobile Station and to a data interface unit that applies the method. According to the method the LAN's data packets are formed, and the RLP control is stripped away from them, in the LAN-controller that is permanently connected to it; the data is packed into data packets in accordance with a data communications protocol and the data communications data packets are inserted into data frames of the radio telephone network when the data is transferred between the radio telephone units. The data interface unit (15) according to the invention is connected to a LAN-controller (14) on the side of the LAN (1). The data interface unit (15) incorporates a digital radio telephone unit (16a) and a data adapter (17) for inserting the LAN's data packets into data frames and for extracting the data packets from these data frames when the data is transferred between the LAN and a Mobile Station that is connected to the digital radio telephone network.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 17
Claim 1
Independent Claim 44 words
A method of data transfer for a radio telephone network, comprising extracting data from a data packet (55), assembling said data into a data structure (61; 71) for a radio telephone network, and transmitting the data structure (61; 71) to a Mobile station (12).
Claim 2
Independent Claim 38 words
A method of data transfer for a radio telephone network, comprising receiving a data structure (61; 71) from a radio telephone network, extracting data from the data structure (61;71), and assembling said data into a data packet (53).
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 22 words
A method according to a claim 1 or claim 2, wherein the data packet (53) is for a Local Area Network (1).
Claim 4
Independent Claim 24 words
A method according to any preceding claim, wherein the data structure (61; 71) is a data frame (61; 71) for the radio telephone network.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 26 words
A method according to claim 4 wherein the data frames (61) of the radio telephone network are data frames of a time-divided digital radio telephone network.
Claim 6
Independent Claim 21 words
A method according to any preceding claim, wherein the data is configured in accordance with a data communications protocol (58; 68).
Claim 7
Independent Claim 65 words
A method according to any of claims 1 to 5, wherein the data structure (71) of the radio telephone network is formed by means of flags (69; 70), the first flag (69) of which is set at the start of the data to indicate the start of the data, the second flag (70) being added to the end to indicate the end of the data.
Claim 8
Independent Claim 29 words
A method according to any preceding claim, wherein said data is extracted by stripping the data packet (53) or stripping the data structure (61; 71) in a LAN-controller (14).
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 66 words
A data interface unit for data transfer for a radio telephone network, comprising a data interface unit (15; 19) having a data adapter (17; 21) for assembling data from data packets (53; 69) into data frames (61; 71) for a radio telephone system, and, correspondingly, for forming data packets (53; 68) from data frames (61; 71) for extracting data transferred from the radio telephone network (6).
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 20 words
A data interface unit according to claim 9, wherein the data packet (53) is for a Local Area Network (1).
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 24 words
A data interface unit according to claim 9 or 10, wherein the data is configured in accordance with a data communications protocol (58; 68).
Claim 12
Dependent Claim 43 words
A data interface unit according to claim 11, wherein the data adapter (17; 21 comprises buffer memories (50; 51) for incoming and outgoing data and a controller (53) for implementing assembling data into data frames (61; 71) and forming data packets (53; 68).
Claim 13
Dependent Claim 35 words
A data interface unit according to any of claims 9 to 12, wherein the data interface unit (15; 19) incorporates a radio telephone unit (16, 16a; 20, 20a) coupled to the data adapter (17; 21).
Claim 14
Dependent Claim 39 words
A data interface unit according to any of claims 9 to 12, wherein the data interface unit (19) incorporates a connector (68) for an external radio phone (20), for coupling the data adapter (21) to the radio phone (20).
Claim 15
Dependent Claim 24 words
A data interface unit according to any of claims 9 to 14, wherein the data adapter (21) is implemented on a PCMCIA card (19a).
Claim 16
Dependent Claim 23 words
A data interface unit according to claim 15, wherein the PCMCIA card (19a) has a connector (68) for an external radio phone (20).
Claim 17
Dependent Claim 26 words
A data interface unit according to claim 13, wherein the data adapter (17) and radio telephone unit (1 6a) are implemented on a PCMCIA card (28).
