ABSTRACT:
When using asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) in low bit rate applications, such as cellular voice communication, bandwidth utilization is significantly improved by employing decoupling minicells. Decoupling minicells are of predetermined length, such as one octet, and are inserted into the payload of ATM cells when there is a delay in the availability of assigned minicells. As soon as an assigned minicell, which contains actual user data, becomes available, the assigned minicell can be inserted into the payload of the current ATM cell immediately after the last decoupling minicell. Unlike prior methods, there is no need to wait until the next ATM cell to insert an assigned minicell.
