  • Wireless protocol method and apparatus supporting transaction requests with variable length responses
    Patent number: 6094423
    Abstract: A method of wireless communication using a hybrid of a transaction protocol and a connection oriented protocol includes the steps of initiating a wireless request from a portable subscriber to a server using the transaction protocol (106) and continuing communications using the transaction protocol (110) if a response from the server is less than a maximum transfer unit size. If the response from the server is greater than a maximum transfer unit size, then the server segments the response into data packets, wherein the portable subscriber unit and server subsequently communicate using the connection oriented protocol (114) until a subsequent wireless request is made from the portable subscriber.
