ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a wireless local loop system (WLL), and more particularly, to an apparatus for and a method of allocating D-channel to minimum channel when performing a basic rate interface (BRI) in WLL, in which D-channel is allocated to the minimum channel when connection is made to V5.2 of WLL exchanger and BRI, while satisfying WLL standards, and system maintenance and extension can be easily achieved by having a modular mounting board.
2. Description of the Related Art
In general, BRI information data service is performed by WLL system, and 2B+D data has to be transmitted through B-channel, a voice band data channel, for such a service.
Specifically, total voice data processing volume from among WLL system decreases when BRI service increases, since D-channel only has 2-bit data. This is because 2-bit D-channel has to be allocated per 8-bit B-channel.
Two types of methods have been developed to process ISDN data served by WLL system and transmit the same to an exchanger; a first method is for the case where a link protocol between a radio port controller (RPC) and an exchanger is E

/V5.2, and a second method is for the case where 2W digital line connects between RPC and exchanger.
In such a conventional art, 2B+D data has to be transmitted through B-channel for processing BRI information data. However, a problem may arises in that an overall voice data processing volume decreases in WLL system when BRI service increases, since D-channel only has 2-bit data.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide an apparatus for and a method of allocating D-channel to minimum channel when performing a basic rate interface (BRI) in WLL, in which D-channel is allocated to the minimum channel when connection is made to V5.2 of WLL exchanger and BRI, while satisfying WLL standards, and system maintenance and extension can be easily achieved by having a modular mounting board.
