Method and system for transferring information within a mobile communication system
First Claim
1. A base station for wireless communication comprising:
- a transceiver;
a transceiver controller coupled to the transceiver that receives signals from said transceiver and that transmits signals to said transceiver;
a backhaul interface allowing communication with external systems;
a backhaul interface processor in communication with said backhaul interface that receives signals from said backhaul interface and that transmits signals to the backhaul interface;
a dual-port RAM that stores information written by said backhaul interface processor and said transceiver controller;
a bus coupled so that said transceiver, said transceiver controller, said backhaul interface, said backhaul interface processor, and said dual-port RAM communicate utilizing said bus; and
a global bus controller that regulates communication along said bus.

Abstract
A mobile communication system having a layered architecture communicates user and signaling data among components of the communication system in the form of information elements which are encapsulated within packets and which may be passed across one or more system interfaces. The mobile communication system may comprises mobile user stations, base stations, and base station controllers and operates as a transparent data pipeline between application end users, such as a telephone service, connected at base station controllers and mobile user stations. Each system interface functions as a communication channel between system components, providing the lower layers of a layered communication system architecture. In a particular embodiment, the interface between the base station and the user stations is a TDMA interface, and the interface between a base radio transceiver and a line card processor comprises a dual-port RAM which is used as a shared resource across the interface. Prioritized queues may be used to facilitate response to relatively urgent signaling and control messages.
