Abstract
A data cell generator multiplexes a plurality of data/speech packets (P , P , P ) into a single minicell (MC ′), for instance an Asynchronous Transfer Mode Adaptation Layer minicell, and adds overhead information (OH) to the minicell (MC ′) indicative for the lengths of the data/speech packets (P , P , P ) multiplexed therein. Several minicells (MC ′, MC ′, MC ′, MC ′) thereafter are multiplexed into a data cell (ATM_C), for instance an Asynchronous Transfer Mode) cell.
