METHOD AND APPARATUS PROVIDING A HIGH-SPEED TRANSPORT SERVICE IN AN AAL2 ENVIRONMENT IN A RADIO ACCESS NETWORK

摘要

A method and apparatus (14a, 14b) for providing a high speed transport bearer (12a, 12b), using end-to-end ATM adaptation layer type 2 (AAL2) signaling to set up the high speed transport bearer (12a, 12b), for use by a user application (10a) hosted by a sending entity (19a) in communicating with a peer user application (10b) of a receiving entity (19b) over a network, in a way that uses multiple component connections (17a, 17b), each providing only a fraction of the overall bit rate of the high speed transport bearer.
