Abstract
A GSM transceiver for use in a GSM network and a method of use of the GSM transceiver is disclosed. The GSM transceiver includes a multilayer protocol stack for executing a plurality of asynchronous tasks, the multilayer protocol stack including a radio resources management entity for controlling a physical layer and a data link layer of the multilayer protocol stack for establishing and maintaining a wireless link between the transceiver and the GSM network and a mobility management entity for establishing and authenticating services provided by the GSM network to the transceiver; and at least one processor for executing the plurality of asynchronous tasks of the multilayer protocol stack; and wherein only the radio resources management entity synthesizes channel establishment messages transmitted by the GSM transceiver to the GSM network and only the mobility management entity makes decisions to establish channels between the transceiver and the GSM network.
