Abstract:
1. A switch for supporting wireless communication, comprising: a first element communicating with a code division multiple access (CDMA) radio access network (RAN), the first element using a CDMA protocol; a second element communicating with a GSM core infrastructure, the second element using a GSM protocol; and a third element configured to reformat the CDMA protocol into the GSM protocol at a first layer of a data stack when a first packet data protocol (PDP) type is designated, and configured to reformat the CDMA protocol into the GSM protocol at a second layer of the data stack when a second PDP type is designated, wherein the first and second elements communicate with each other via the third element, whereby use of the CDMA RAN with the GSM core infrastructure is facilitated.
