Abstract
A communications system comprising a segmenting mechanism configured to receive a plurality of payloads and divide each of the received payloads into segments, a framing mechanism configured to insert at least one of the segments from each of the plurality of payloads into a packet, a first interface configured to transmit the packet, and a second interface configured to transmit segment information about the segments in the packet.
Claims29
A communications system, comprising:
- a segmenting mechanism configured to receive a plurality of payloads and divide each of the received payloads into segments;
- a framing mechanism configured to insert at least one of the segments from each of the plurality of payloads into a packet;
- a first interface configured to transmit the packet;
- and
- a second interface configured to transmit segment information about the segments in the packet.

A communications system, comprising:
- layers configured to provide payloads;
- a manager configured to receive the payloads and divide each of the received payloads into segments and to insert the segments from different layers into timeslots in a packet and compile segment information about each of the segments inserted in the timeslots;
- a first interface configured to transmit the packet;
- a second interface configured to receive the packet;
- a third interface configured to transmit the segment information;
- and
- a fourth interface configured to receive the segment information.
