Definitions

  • the present invention relates to data communications and telecommunications and more specifically to a method and an apparatus for the combination of data and/or telecommunications signals according to two or more standards in a communications system.
  • Telecommunications networks have, traditionally, been circuit switched, but now, packet-switched networks are being used to an increasing degree. This changes some of the fundamental assumptions in telecommunications: Companies (other than telecommunications operators) are able to offer services and applications to telephone subscribers, reducing the operator's role as a service pro- vider. In time, networks will become service and application-independent.
  • IP traffic will constitute a larger fraction of the total traffic, in time probably more than the voice traffic.
  • Telecommunications markets are being, and will be, deregulated.
  • the fundamental feature required for flexibility in a Wireless Broadband Access (WBA) system is an efficient media access control protocol that provides fast dynamic capacity allocation to handle bursty traffic; fairness among the different access terminals; support for multiple qualities of service.

  • -a first bus for conveying subsignals according to the first communication protocol from the multiplexer/demultiplexer to and from at least one service unit
  • -a second bus for conveying signals according to the second communication protocol from the multiplexer/demultiplexer to and from at least one service unit, each of said service units constituting an interface between the apparatus and at least one external equipment unit.

  • At least one of the subsignals may be processed during transmission between the multiplexer/demultiplexer and the appropriate service unit. This enables the use of a number of different signal protocols together.
  • One or more subsignals may be retrieved in the multiplexer/demultiplexer and/or in another unit and fed to one or more control units for control of the functions of the system, such as synchronization, transmission control, etc.
  • the apparatus may also comprise a control unit arranged to add control bits to the combined signal before transmission and to extract the corresponding control bits from a re- ceived combined signal.
  • said first bus is adapted for telecommunications and said second bus is adapted for PCI communication.
  • said first and second bus are adapted for ATM traffic and IP traffic, respectively.
  • the PCI standard has several major advantages: • It is relatively inexpensive previous industrial data buses.
  • the ATM Forum has specified a bus for ATM traffic, called the UTOPIA bus.
  • This bus is normally used as a communications bus between two circuits on the same circuit board. It enables various types of ATM traffic, including Constant Bit Rate (CBR) and Unspecified Bit Rate (UBR).

Moreover, the capacity needed to transport voice on 64 kbit/s channels over a radio link seems rather inefficient compared with the capacity needed by modern voice codes.
  • An alternative solution is offered by voice over IP technology. With this solution the IP packets containing telephony information are handled by the system as high-priority data packets. This solution has two major advantages: no capacity is permanently reserved in the WBA system and a conver- gence of the customer data and telephony service is achieved.

  • TDD Time Division Duplex
  • WBA wireless LAN
  • a guard time between the downlink and uplink sections of the frames has to be introduced in order to avoid collision between time slots.
  • the guard time reduces system throughput, especially if the system is designed for low latency.
  • FDD systems on the other hand, allocate a fixed pro- portion between uplink and downlink capacity.
  • the WBA system which primarily addresses the business market segment, is therefore designed as an FDD system with full flexibility for instantaneous capacity allocation in the uplink and downlink directions for each access termination and connection.
  • An existing end-to end access solution for a WBA system based on a point-to- multipoint microwave transport scheme can be utilized in the applicable frequency spectrum, such as the 24, 26 or 28 GHz bands.
  • the core of the system is the ATM- based broadband access platform. All customer traffic is mapped on ATM cells and administered over the 37.5 Mbit/s symmetrical air interface in a time-division multiplexing (TDM) scheme in the uplink direction.
  • TDM time-division multiplexing
  • the throughput of the ATM cell over the radio interface is approximately 78,000 cells/s in each direction.
