          Application No. 08/784,087                                                  


                    connection-less data defining rules for the LMP layer;            
                    and                                                               
                    connection-less Link Service Access Point (LSAP)                  
                    defining rules for establishing a service-to-service              
                    connection by binding an LSAP of said transceiver                 
                    device with an LSAP of said host for transmitting and             
                    accepting data in IR transmissions exchanged                      
                    therebetween.                                                     


          22. In an IrDA-compatible system including a transceiver device             
          and a host, means for providing transaction support for IR                  
          transmissions between said transceiver device and host by                   
          producing an IrDA protocol stack having a series of layers, said            
          means comprising:                                                           
               means for producing a Connectivity layer for defining the              
               operating conditions for a physical IR link between a                  
               transceiver device and a host;                                         
               means for producing an Ir Link Access Protocol (IrLAP)                 
               layer, cooperating with said Connectivity layer, for                   
               defining the specification for establishing a physical IR              
               link between a transceiver device and a host, and                      
               comprising:                                                            
                    Media Access Control (MAC) rules for the IrLAP                    
                    specification defining the requirements before the                
                    initiation of an IR transmission between a transceiver            
                    device and a host;                                                

                    Framing rules for defining the form of transmitted (Tx)           
                    and received (Rx) IR transmissions between a                      
                    transceiver device and a host; and                                
                    connection-less data defining rules for the IrLAP                 
                    layer; and
