1. A method for communicating a radio access network (RAN) signaling message between a radio network controller (RNC) and a core switching network, the method comprising:

  • (a) receiving, from an RNC, a RAN signaling message that includes an asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) protocol component and an application part protocol component;

    (b) encapsulating the application part protocol component of the RAN signaling message within a first protocol envelope;

    (c) replacing the ATM protocol component of the RAN signaling message with a non-ATM protocol component; and

    (d) transmitting the RAN signaling message to a core network.
