Abstract: The invention refers to a method of transmitting Ethernet data frames from a first local area network (LAN) to a second local area network (LAN) comprising mapping Ethernet frames from the first local area network onto Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy format via Generic Framing Procedure (GFP) and transmitting the mapped Ethernet frames via a one or multiple En streams to an optional SDH-level network. The transmission is received at the second local area network through the optional SDH-level network via one or multiple En streams-network, and the Ethernet frames are demapped from the first local area network via Generic Framing Procedure, and transmitted into the second local area network.

Abstract: A system and a method relating to TDMA communication. A number of terminal stations communicate with user stations and a central node. Separate frequencies are used for communication to and from the central node. Information to the central node is transmitted as bursts in frames and the bursts from the different terminals may be of different lengths. Scheduling means are provided in the central node for controlling the transmission of data in bursts from the terminal stations towards the central node and for maintaining information about the actual transmission demand from each terminal station. The scheduling means control the use of the frame structure for each terminal in agreement with said information through changing the sending of bursts within the frame structure without requiring buffering means of the central node and of the terminal stations to exceed a given size corresponding to the size required for steady state transmission.

Abstract: A radio link network and a method for transferring, in addition to commercial traffic, other traffic as information from a number of additional services. The radio link network comprises several radio link stations and the information is transferred in a number of channels (2). The information from the additional services is transferred in a common channel. (3) adapted to transfer different types of additional services (4, 5, 6). The information transferred in the common channel between a starting point and an ending point is not terminated in intermediate radio link stations.
