1. A method for generating a cell payload based on a user packet comprising N octets (where N is a positive integer), said method comprising:
- building a basic control octet which comprises;
(1) an additional control bit that indicates if a supplemental control octet accompanies said basic control octet, and(2) a length indicator based on N;
packing said basic control octet and said user packet into said cell payload; and
padding any unused portion of said cell payload with copies of said basic control octet.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for enabling one or more packets (e.g., CDMA packets, CDPD packets etc.) to be encapsulated into a cell (e.g., an ATM cell, a B-ISDN cell) for transmission and/or reception over a broadband network (e.g., an ATM Channel). An illustrative method includes building a basic control octet for a packet of N bytes, the basic control octet including (1) an additional control bit that indicates if a supplemental control octet accompanies the basic control octet, and (2) a length indicator based on N.

2. A method for generating a cell payload based on a first user packet comprising M octets (where M is a positive integer) and a second user packet comprising N octets (where N is a positive integer), said method comprising:
-
building a first basic control octet which comprises; (1) an additional control bit that indicates if a first supplemental control octet accompanies said first basic control octet, (2) a length indicator based on M; building a second basic control octet which comprises; (1) an additional control bit that indicates if a second supplemental control octet accompanies said first basic control octet, (2) a length indicator based on N; and packing said first basic control octet, said first user packet, said second basic control octet and said second user control packet into said cell payload. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5, 6)

7. A method for generating a cell payload based on a user packet, which is associated with a logical link Q and which comprises N octets (where N is a positive integer), said method comprising:
-
building a basic control octet that comprises; (1) an additional control bit that indicates if a supplemental control octet accompanies said basic control octet, and (2) a length indicator based on N; building a supplemental control octet that comprises; (1) an additional control bit that indicates if an ancillary control octet accompanies said supplemental control octet, and (2) a logical link indicator based on Q; packing said basic control octet, said supplemental control octet and said user packet into said cell payload. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10)
