Abstract
A cellular communication system and method where a mobile user communicates coded information signals on a radio channel via a cellsite and a cellsite controller to a switching network. The switching network switches the signal to a transcoder which converts the coded signal to an uncoded signal. The uncoded signal is communicated to another user, and may be maintained and remain untouched and uninterrupted during handoffs.
