Abstract: A method for controlling call under use of ATM transfer capabilities call gap during the overload of an ATM switching network. The method comprises the steps of accepting a high priority call need first by means of call priority in a given time gap; and accepting the call in an order of DBR, SBR, ABR (ABT), and UBR service, in case that the call priority is the same, or in case that there is no call priority.

Abstract: Methods for performing origination and termination processes to control reserved semi-permanent virtual path connections in an asynchronous transfer mode virtual path switching system. A service can flexibly be provided based on semi-permanent virtual path connection information for a desired time in response to a reserved semi-permanent virtual path registration command received through an operator interface during the operation of the system. Also, the reserved semi-permanent virtual path connections can be controlled up to 256 per subscriber link of 155 Mbps class. A subscriber service using time is designated and resources in a network are occupied only for the designated time. Therefore, a plurality of subscribers are set at different service time zones in such a manner that the network resources can be utilized at the maximum at each service time zone.
