CDPD - Cellular Digital Packet Data (An Introduction)
cellular Digital Packet Data (CDPD) systems was one of the previous advanced wireless data transmission technology. Generally used as a tool for business, law enforcement communications and operations. But after the introduction of GPRS Technology on the mobile networking, all the hopes around CDPD technology diminished. Today this protocol is only exist as a memory.
About CDPD
CDPD is a specification for supporting wireless access to the Internet and other public packet-switched networks. Data transmitted on the CDPD systems travel several times faster than data send using analog networks. CDPD is an open specification that adheres to the layered structure of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model. CDPD supports both the Internet's Connectionless Network protocol (CLNP).

Working of CDPD
CDPD network implements a technique called channel hopping. The way this works is that when a CDPD mobile data unit desires to initiate data transmission, it will check for availability of a cellular channel. Once an available channel is located, the data link is established. As long as the assigned cellular channel is not needed for voice communications, the mobile data unit can continue to transmit data packet bursts on it.
