where0 n 40 m 246n þ m 24ð8:3bÞJustification for using either (8.2) or (8.3) depends on whether or not any callcontrol information signals are transmitted. As the aggregate data rateincreases, the channel combinatorial aspects vary with intended applications.Naturally, the broadb<strong>and</strong> channel structure corresponds to broadb<strong>and</strong>access, appropriate for multimedia applications, which include data, fullvideo, interactive applications, <strong>and</strong> call control signals. As an illustration,for the transmission <strong>of</strong> 129 Mbit=sec, we can choose several combinations forseveral applications, such asH4 þ 4H12 þ 2B þ Dð8:4Þwhere functions can be distributed across the channels; for example,The H4 channel can be assigned to carry normal television (orcompressed high-definition television (HDTV) signals, fast facsimile,to name a few.The four H12 channels can provide capacity to convey fast data transfer,etc.The remainder <strong>of</strong> the channels, that is, (2B þ D), are to provide supportfor low-data rate information.For asynchronous channel structures, information flows are not constant.Figure 8.4 shows a basic asynchronous channel structure. The design <strong>of</strong>asynchronous channel structures is based on the concept <strong>of</strong> the transfer cell. Acell is an information frame containing a fixed <strong>and</strong> integral number <strong>of</strong> octets <strong>of</strong>FIGURE 8.4An asynchronous channel structure.Copyright © 2002 by Marcel Dekker, Inc.
