Abstract :
A protocol controller has been designed and is being fabricated to handle the data link communication functions between the Mobile Switching Center (MSC) and the Base Station System (BSS) in the Groupe Special Mobile (GSM) wireless information networks. The protocol implemented by the protocol controller is a subset of the signaling link functions (level 2) of the Message Transfer Part (MTP) in the Consultative Committee on International Telegraphy and Telephony (CCITT) Signaling System No.7 (SS7) standard. The purpose of MTP is to handle the error correction, error monitoring, and flow control of information across the network
