TIA TIA-136-310-A

Abstract

<strong>Purpose and Scope</strong> <br>This standard specifies a Radio Link Protocol (RLP1) that layer-3 functions may use to asynchronously transport data octets across a TDMA radio interface. RLP1 requires an underlying half-rate, full-rate, double-rate, or triple-rate digital traffic channel as specified in TIA-136-131, 132, and 133 [7]. <br>To aid the reader, &#167;&#167; 2 and 3 contain descriptive information: &#167; 2 provides an overview; &#167; 3 describes the protocol's structure. &#167;&#167; 4 and 5 contain requirements: &#167; 4 specifies RLP1 signals; &#167; 5 specifies processes. References appear in &#167; 6. Finally, Annex A illustrates protocol operation, and Annex B lists and defines acronyms. Note that &#167; 5 refers to figures too large to fit within the body of the standard. These figures are enclosed in a separate envelope. <br>Readers will find the following documents helpful in understanding this standard: X.200 [4] and Z.100 [5]. <br>Similar to X.200, this standard uses reference models to organize con17 cepts and requirements into a logical structure. These reference models are not meant to unnecessarily constrain implementations &#8212; any RLP1 implementation that, as a whole, behaves the same as the RLP1 speci20 fied in this standard, by definition, complies with this standard. <br>If the requirements of this standard conflict with the requirements of referenced standards, this standard shall govern.
