A voice packet processor for use with voice applications employing a fast pattern processor (FPP) and a routing switch processor (RSP) that receive and transmit protocol data units (PDUs) and a method of operation thereof. In one embodiment, the voice packet processor includes (1) a voice packet controller (VPC) configured to receive the PDUs from the FPP and queue the PDUs for processing, (2) a voice packet parser configured to receive the PDUs that are ATM adaptation layer 2 (AAL2) cells containing voice data from the VPC, parse the AAL2 cells into at least one Common Part Sublayer (CPS) packet and transmit the at least one CPS packet to the RSP, and (3) a voice packet assembler configured to receive the PDUs that are CPS packets from the VPC, assemble the CPS packets into at least one AAL2 Cell and transmit the at least one AAL2 cell to the RSP.

The present invention discloses a method for transmitting signal between a central channel processing Main Unit (MU) and one or more Remote Radio Units (RRUs) by using SDH / OTN in Centralized Base Transceiver Station system using remote radio head (RRH) technology. The method includes: dividing the communication interface between the MU and the RRUs into a user plane and a control plane, the user plane mainly for carrying I / Q sampling data concerning the user data, and the control plane mainly for carrying the data concerning control signaling; forming the I / Q sampling data concerning the user data carried by the user plane into an I / Q data frame via an I / Q data frame adaptation layer, then forming the I / Q data frame into a GFP frame via GFP and transmitting it on SDH / OTN; and carrying the control signaling of the control plane on UDP / IP and / or TCP / IP, and further carrying IP packet on PPP and forming it into a frame by HDLC, transmitting the HDLC frame including the control plane signaling on the SDH / OTN via the control character channel of the GFP frame. According to the present invention, the existing SDH / OTN transmission network is utilized directly, which further reduces the management and maintenance operation needed for signal transmission, as well as networking cost.

Techniques for exchanging point to point protocol (PPP) information among network nodes using an arbitrary network protocol include determining whether a PPP payload includes PPP control data. If so, then an outbound protocol frame is generated with the PPP control data in a payload and with an outbound protocol type field that indicates PPP control data. The outbound protocol frame is sent to a server which uses the PPP control data. The outbound protocol is different from PPP and from PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) and from PPP over Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) protocol (PPPoA). The outbound protocol may be Ethernet or ATM Adaptation Layer (AAL) or some other protocol. These techniques allow PPP control plane functionality while utilizing IP over Ethernet for the data plane.

System and method for correlating multiple frames of data associated with a single call into a call record. One embodiment comprises correlating data in a radio access network by capturing data passing to and from a radio network controller, identifying ATM Adaptation Layer type 5 (AAL5) frames within the data, assigning a first call identifier to the AAL5 frames, identifying ATM Adaptation Layer type 2 (AAL2) frames within the data, assigning a second call identifier to the AAL2 frames, and combining AAL2 frames and AAL5 frames having a same first call identifier and a same second call identifier into a call record. The data passing to and from the first radio network controller may be data passing over an Iub interface between a Node B and the radio network controller or data passing over an Iur interface between two radio network controllers.

An apparatus for interfacing with a cell delay variation buffer and a re-assembly memory buffer includes a header and sequence number processing module that can interface with the cell delay variation buffer and a re-assembly processing module that can interface with the re-assembly memory buffer. The header and sequence number processing module causes payloads from the cells to be stored in annotated form in the cell delay variation buffer and then extracted. Payload information from the extracted annotated payload can be passed to the re-assembly processing module which causes it to be stored in the re-assembly memory buffer and extracted therefrom as needed. By splitting the cell delay variation and re-assembly buffer functions, less expensive commodity memory can be used for the cell delay variation buffer function.
