Method for transmitting data packets via a circuit-switched channel
First Claim
1. A method comprising the steps of:
- - providing information to be transmitted;
- formatting the information into a plurality of data packets, wherein each data packet includes a first target destination identifier;
- determining a second target destination identifier that corresponds to the first target destination identifier;
- establishing an RF-based circuit switched channel to a target destination that corresponds to the second target destination identifier; and
- transmitting the data packets via the RF-based circuit switched channel without either the first target destination identifier or the second target destination identifier being transmitted therewith.

Abstract
Data to be transmitted from an information source (301) associated with a local/wide area network (303) is formatted into a plurality of data packets. Each data packet includes a first target destination identifier that uniquely identifies a target destination (323) within an RF communication system (306). A network interfacer (305) establishes connectivity between the local/wide area network and a controller (307) associated with the RF communication system. Based on the first target destination identifier, the controller determines a second target destination identifier corresponding to the target destination. A circuit-switched channel is established to the target destination using the second target destination identifier. The data packets are then transmitted via the circuit-switched channel to the target destination without either the first or second target destination identifiers being transmitted therewith.

5. A method comprising the steps of:
-
- providing information to be transmitted, which information comprises a message type of a plurality of message types; - formatting the information into a plurality of data packets, wherein each data packet includes a first target destination identifier; - formatting the plurality of data packets into at least one session, which session includes a session conclusion indicator; - determining a second target destination identifier that corresponds to the first target destination identifier; - determining the message type to identify which session format has been used to format the plurality of data packets; - establishing an RF-based circuit switched channel to a target destination that corresponds to the second target destination identifier; - maintaining the RF-based circuit switched channel until at least the session conclusion indicator as corresponds to the message type has been detected; and - transmitting the data packets via the RF-based circuit switched channel without either the first or second target destination identifiers being transmitted therewith. - View Dependent Claims (6)
