Abstract:
1. A method for session layer framing for interoperability between packet-switched apparatus, comprising the steps of: a processing device performing: generating a communication frame at the session layer comprising a plurality of fields; providing for a payload field in the plurality of fields for carrying a payload; and providing for a signal field in the plurality of fields for carrying a control signal; providing for a Coded Signal Value” field in the plurality of fields to carry control signaling; providing for a “Peer-to-Peer Connection Reference” field in the plurality of fields for identifying connections; providing for a “Frame Number” field; providing for a “RPDFL Version Number” field in the plurality of fields for indicating a version of an RPDFL protocol providing for a “PTT Priority” field in the plurality of fields for enabling a priority selection; providing for an “SNR” field ideally in the plurality of fields for allowing automatic diversity selections; providing for a “Spare” field ideally in the plurality of fields; and wherein the frame enables peer-to-peer communication between a first packet-switched apparatus in a first communication system and a second packet-switched apparatus in a second disparate communication system.
