1. A method for multiplexing a first packet associated with a first channel identifier and comprising M octets, where M is a natural number, and a second packet associated with a second channel identifier and comprising N octets, where N is a natural number, into a cell information field, said method comprising:
- building a first control octet #1 and a first control octet #2 that comprise;
(1) a first channel indicator based on said first channel identifier, and(2) a first length indicator based on M;
building a second control octet #1 and a second control octet #2 that comprise;
(1) a second channel indicator based on said second channel identifier, and(2) a second length indicator based on N; and
packing said first control octet # 1, said first control octet #2, said first packet, said second control octet #1, said second control octet #2 and said second packet into said information field.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for transmitting and/or receiving variable-length packets (e.g., CDMA packets, CDPD packets) that are associated with different channels and which are multiplexed via a single virtual circuit (e.g., an ATM virtual circuit).

8. A method for multiplexing a first packet associated with a first channel identifier and comprising M octets, where M is a natural number, and a second packet associated with a second channel identifier and comprising N octets, where N is a natural number, into a cell information field, said method comprising:
-
building a first plurality of control octets that comprise; (1) a first channel indicator based on said first channel identifier, and (2) a first length indicator based on M; building a second plurality of control octets that comprise; (1) a second channel indicator based on said second channel identifier, and (2) a second length indicator based on N; and packing said first plurality of control octets, said first packet, said second plurality of control octets and said second packet into said cell information field. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

16. A method for multiplexing a first packet associated with a first channel identifier and comprising M octets, where M is a natural number, and a second packet associated with a second channel identifier and comprising N octets, where N is a natural number, into a first cell information field associated with a first cell and into a second cell information field associated with a second cell, said method comprising:
-
building a first plurality of control octets that comprise; (1) a first channel indicator based on said first channel identifier, (2) a first length indicator based on M; building a second plurality of control octets that comprise; (1) a second channel indicator based on said second channel identifier, (2) a second length indicator based on N; packing said first plurality of control octets, said first packet, said second plurality of control octets and X octets of said second packet into said first cell information field; building at least one control octet that comprises; (1) a third length indicator based on N-X, where X is a natural number; packing said at least one control octet and N-X octets of said second packet into said second cell information field. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
