A SYSTEM AND METHOD OF POINT-TO-MULTIPOINT WIRELESS COMMUNICATION USING A POINT-TO-POINT COMMUNICATION STRUCTURE

摘要

A system of performing point-to-multipoint wireless communications over a point-to-point structure including a transparent wireless interface (19) between a single line card port of a local ATM switch (18) and a set of multiple end users (20) is described. The transparent interface translates the ID reference numbers and protocol channel designators in the ATM cells passed between the single line card port and each of the end users such that each perceives that they are communicating directly with the other.
