TIA TIA-136-320

Abstract

<strong>Purpose and Scope</strong> <br>This standard specifies a Radio Link Protocol (RLP2) that layer-3 functions may use to isochronously transport data across a TDMA radio interface. The protocol maintains bit-count integrity by delivering cumulative nibble counts to layer 3. It requires an underlying half-rate, full-rate, double-rate, or triple-rate digital traffic channel as specified in TIA-136-131, 132, and 133 [5]. <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 RLP2 signals; &#167; 5 specifies pro cesses. References appear in &#167; 6. Finally, Annex A lists and defines acronyms. <br>Readers will find the following documents helpful in understanding this standard: X.200 [3] and Z.100 [4]. <br>Similar to X.200, this standard uses reference models to organize concepts and requirements into a logical structure. These reference models are not meant to unnecessarily constrain implementations &#8212; any RLP2 implementation that, as a whole, behaves the same as the RLP2 specified 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.
