A method for generating ATM cells for low bit rate applications, said method including : a segmentation and packetization step (1), for converting a plurality of incoming data unit streams into a plurality of incoming short packet streams, said step including a segmentation of long data units prior to the - packetization of data units into short packets, a multiplexing and scheduling step (3, SCH, GLL), for multiplexing said plurality of incoming short packet streams into a single outgoing short packet stream to be packed into a same ATM connection, and for scheduling the different incoming short packet streams into said single outgoing short packet stream, in a way that short packets corresponding to long data units of different incoming data unit streams can be interleaved in said single outgoing short packet stream. <IMAGE> |
