A method of assembling a plurality of frames including cell/packet-formatted data according to a predetermined frame format for transmission in a communication signal in a wireless or satellite environment. The method begins by assembling a data payload for each frame having a first variable size, including at least one of a partial data cell/packet and a complete data cell/packet. Then, for each frame a block code having a second variable size is generated for use in error correction. Each frame is provided with a frame header which defines aspects of the frame. Finally, the data payload, the block code and the format header are combined to form a frame corresponding to the plurality of frames, the format header defining a first portion of the frame, the data payload defining a second portion of the frame and the block code defining a third portion of the frame.
An arrangement of signals in a frame format for a communication signal containing a bit stream including cell- or -packet-formatted data, said bit stream being organized into a plurality of frames according to said frame format which comprises:
A communication system for efficiently transmitting information signals in discrete cell/packets, said system comprising at least two local area networks that are connected by a satellite/wireless communication link, each local area network comprising:
