  • Patent number: 6996076
    Abstract: One aspect of the invention is a method for wireless call processing. The method includes downloading at least one function-specific logic control program into each of a plurality of generic logic control state machines and receiving a message at a wireless protocol-specific codec, parsing the message, and routing the message to a first logic control state machine associated with the protocol-specific codec. The method also includes executing the function-specific logic control program of a first logic control state machine and generating a call event and routing the call event to an event codec. The method also includes executing the function-specific logic control program of a second logic control state machine and processing the call event. In a particular embodiment, the method also includes allocating an RF channel that may be used for the call event without seizing the RF channel.
