1. A radio network system, comprising:
- a source transceiver unit with an assigned source address;
a destination transceiver unit with an assigned destination address;
a router gateway having a first interface in radio communication with the source transceiver unit, a second interface in radio communication with the destination transceiver unit, and a routing table defining an interconnection of the first interface to the second interface based upon the destination address; and
a network signaling framework abstracted from the radio communication level, wherein the router gateway, the source transceiver unit and the destination transceiver unit each include a encoder/decoder in compliance therewith, the interconnection of the first interface to the second interface being initiated with routing signals generated from and decoded by the encoder/decoders associated with respective ones of the source transceiver unit and the router gateway.

Abstract
A method and system for the networking of radio transceivers is disclosed. The system includes a source transceiver with a source address, and a destination transceiver with a destination address. A router gateway includes a first interface in communication with the source transceiver and a second interface in communication with the destination transceiver, and interconnections between the two are defined in a routing table. A network signaling system independent of the respective radio transmission and receipt systems enables communication between the source transceiver and the destination transceiver.

8. A radio network gateway for routing transmissions from a remote source transmitter to a remote destination receiver, comprising:
-
a plurality of source receivers, a one of the source receivers being in radio communication with the remote source transmitter; a plurality of destination transmitters, a first one of the destination transmitters being in communication with the remote destination receiver; a routing path database having a destination address of the remote destination receiver associated with the first one of the plurality of destination transmitters in communication therewith; and a router having a selectable interconnection between the source receiver and the destination transmitter, the interconnection being defined by the routing path database. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A method for radio communications, comprising:
-
establishing a first radio communication link between a first remote transceiver and a gateway; transmitting to the gateway over the first radio communication link a predefined destination identifier, and a message payload; routing the message payload through the gateway to a transmitter designated as being associated with a second remote transceiver, the destination identifier being assigned to the second remote transceiver; establishing a second radio communication link between the gateway and the second remote transceiver; and transmitting the message payload to the second remote transceiver over the second radio communication link. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
