Method for transmitting data using a digital control channel of a wireless network
DCFirst Claim
1. A method for transmitting a data sequence via a personal communications system transmission protocol comprising the steps of:
- composing at least one data packet including a request for data said at least one data packet including said request for data being in a form which conforms to conventional short message data packets;
transmitting said at least one data packet including said request for data from an access point to a data collection unit via a short message service portion of a control channel of the personal communications system transmission protocol as one or more short messages, wherein said step of transmitting said at least one data packet including said request for data includes the step of inserting said at least one data packet including said request for data into the control channel;
receiving said at least one data packet including said request for data at said data collection unit;
interpreting said request or data from said access point by said data collection unit;
compiling data from said data collection unit, said compiled data being requested in said request for data;
composing at least one data packet including, said compiled data, said at least one data packet including compiled data being in a form which conforms conventional short message data packets;
transmitting said at least one data packet including said compiled data from said data collection unit to said access point via said short message service portion of the control channel of the personal communications system transmission protocol as one or more short messages, wherein said step of transmitting said at least one data packet including said compiled data includes the step of inserting said at least one data packet including said compiled data into the control channel; and
receiving said at least one data packet including said compiled data at said access point.

Abstract
An apparatus and method for transmitting data to and from a data collection device using the short message service functionality of the control channel of a personal communications system transmission protocol is disclosed. The method includes first transmitting a request for data from a remote device to the data collection device using the short message service portion of the digital personal communications system control channel transmission protocol. The requests are received a the data collection device and interpreted. According to the interpretation, the data collection device compiles the data that was requested by the remote device. The compiled data is transmitted to the remote device using the short message service portion of the digital personal communications system control channel transmission protocol.
