A system and method are provided that implement an inter-protocol adaptation layer (inter-PAL) pass-through processing scheme in wireless communicating devices operating with separate PALs to combine use of the individually-beneficial features of one PAL by allowing a first order capability for cross-talk between the PALs. A first PAL data packet is passed through the communicating system using a second PAL syntax. In so doing, a capacity to employ beneficial features of the second PAL advantageously in enhancement of the information in a data packet generated according to the first PAL is provided.
