Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide communication of Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) data using variable duration ATM frames between a data terminal unit (DTU) at a central office and a remote DTU at a user premises. One embodiment of the present invention can be viewed as a communication device which communicates data in an asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) format, the device comprising at least one buffer configured to receive data from a sending device, and a modulation unit coupled to the buffer and configured to encapsulate a plurality of ATM cells into an ATM frame, the plurality of ATM cells having the received data, so that the ATM frame is communicated onto a subscriber line, such that the communicated ATM frame has a variable transmission duration, the variable transmission duration corresponding to a number of the plurality of ATM cells encapsulated into the ATM frame.
