1. A switch for supporting wireless communication, comprising:
- a first element communicating with a code division multiple access (CDMA) radio access network (RAN) using CDMA protocol; and
a second element communicating with a GSM core infrastructure using GSM protocol, the first and second elements communicating with each other, whereby use of the CDMA RAN with the GSM core infrastructure is facilitated.

Abstract
Computer data is transferred between a CDMA radio access network and a GSM core infrastructure using a switch that acts on the CDMA side as a packet data serving node (PDSN) element and on the GSM side as a serving GPRS service node (SGSN) element. Switching message sequences and protocol stacks are disclosed.

8. A method for facilitating the use of a CDMA RAN with a GSM core infrastructure, comprising steps of:
-
terminating point-to-point protocol (PPP) framing from the CDMA RAN and sending Internet Protocol (IP) to the GSM core infrastructure in response to selection of IP by a user of a CDMA mobile station communicating with the CDMA RAN; and
initiating packet data protocol (PDP) context activation including specifying at least one access point name from the CDMA mobile station. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12)
