Abstract
The present invention provides an efficient point-to-multipoint microwave ATM network including a base station (BS) broadcasting a continuous transmission with a sector antenna. The system uses time division multiplex (TDM) for downstream transmission and time division multiple access (TDMA) for upstream transmission. The downstream transmission consists of ATM cells encapsulated in MAC protocol data units (PDUs) for forward error correction (FEC) and synchronization. Small Subscriber Terminals (STs), including Subscriber Radio Units (SRUs), receive the broadcast and pass it to a Subscriber Access System (SAS) that drops the ATM cells addressed only to them. To allow strong FEC protection and to maintain the same symbol rate as the downstream transmission without sacrificing bandwidth, a modified trellis code modulation technique, which incorporates Reed Solomon coding, is used during upstream transmission.
