Abstract

A cellular digital packet data (CDPD) system includes a mobile data base station (MDBS) configured to interface easily with an advanced mobile phone system (AMPS). The elements of the MDBS are arranged on modules and the functionality of the MDBS is divided among the modules to facilitate flexibility, compactness and quick expansion of the MDBS. To further facilitate compactness, the MDBS includes a transceiver/modem board which uses a single chip to carry out delta-sigma modulation. In order to maintain the integrity of CDPD transmission, a channel hopping scheme is used based upon avoidance of AMPS channel use. A distinctive protocol is used to encapsulate control/query/response data for transmission throughout the CDPD system. This protocol also facilitates easy control of each MDBS throughout the system.
