Broadband telecommunications system
First Claim
1. A telecommunication signal embodied in a tangible medium, the telecommunication signal comprising:
- a first signal component including user information from a narrowband communication signal; and
a second signal component including an identifier for routing the user information wherein an interworking device receives the narrowband communication signal and a control signal indicating the narrowband communication signal and the identifier, and in response to the control signal, adds the identifier to the user information to form the telecommunication signal.

Abstract
The invention is a system for providing virtual connections through an ATM interworking multiplexer on a call-by-call basis. A signaling processor receives signaling for a call and selects the virtual connection for the call. The signaling processor generates new signaling that identifies the selection and transfers the new signaling to the ATM interworking multiplexer that accepted the access connection for the call. The multiplexer converts user information from the access connection into ATM cells for transmission over the virtual connection in accord with the new signaling.
