Abstract

See full text

A mapping scheme that maps standard ATMs service classes (28) of the type used in a wired communications network into one of a plurality of available media access control channels (30) that allow the particular ATM service class (28) to be transmitted efficiently over the network, such as a satellite network. The various media access controlled channel types (30) reside in a media access control layer (24) between the ATM layer (22) and the physical layer (26). A predetermined uplink user protocol is assigned to each MAC channel 30 to efficiently transmit to the ATM cells on the satellite uplink.
