Multiplexing terminals in a distributed network
First Claim
1. A method of multiplexing multiple terminals in a distributed network, the method comprising:
- transporting user traffic, comprising;
converting said user traffic into ATM cells;
passing said ATM cells over a wireless link to a TDM port in an ATM multiplexer, said ATM multiplexer including an ATM circuit emulation service; and
converting said ATM cells into user traffic; and
transporting telephony signaling information, comprising;
extracting said telephony signaling-information from a user interface;
passing said telephony signaling information to a base station using an ATM virtual circuit;
processing and aggregating a plurality of telephony signaling information including said telephony signaling information into a single channel; and
transmitting said single channel to said ATM multiplexer including said ATM circuit emulation service.

Abstract
A method of multiplexing multiple terminals in a distributed network includes transporting user traffic and telephony signaling information. Transporting user traffic includes converting the user traffic into ATM cells, passing the ATM cells over a wireless link to a TDM port in an ATM multiplexer wherein the ATM multiplexer includes an ATM circuit emulation service, and converting the ATM cells into user traffic. Transporting telephony signaling information includes extracting the telephony signaling information from a user interface, passing the telephony signaling information to a base station using an ATM virtual circuit, processing and aggregating a number of telephony signaling information into a single channel, and transmitting the single channel to the ATM multiplexer.
