A METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TRANSFERRING THE CONTROL INFORMATION OVER REVERSE MULTIPLEX LINK OF ASYNCHRONOUS TRANSFER MODE

摘要

A method and apparatus for transferring the control information over reverse multiplex link of asynchronous transfer mode is provided. The method mainly includes: fill the control information which is to be transferred between the network side and base station side device using the IMA link in the free time slot of the physical layer frames; transfer the control information between the network side and base station side device using the IMA link through the free time slot of the physical layer frames. With the method of the present invention, a measure for automatically resuming the connection can be provided between the network side and base station side device using the IMA link, the work load for maintaining the network can be reduced and the network operation cost can be reduced.
