I've deleted the sentence added by 4.167.233.164. It has since been copy edited (thanks all), but it was, to my understanding, fundamentally misleading and incorrect, as it discussed "sound waves". Clearly RF communications are transmitted in radio waves and not sound waves.

I wonder if the word "circuit" should be changed, since there's no circuit (wires), and because perhaps this inappropriately restricts the term to one side of the circuit switched/packet switched divide.

I have some background in wireless networking (though not cellular networks), and I don't think I ever used the term "Air interface", at least in a formal way. This doesn't feel like well defined vocabulary. Will someone define "air interface" more carefully with respect to the OSI model or wireless protocol stacks? Is this term well defined and widely used? Comments? Ideas?
