Abstract:
1. A method, comprising transporting digital data in a backhaul application, the data being transferred as a sequence of blocks having payload bits k=96n, where n is a negotiated parameter, including: coupling a first end of a plurality of unbundled network elements to a first G.shdsl modem with bonding capabilities; coupling a second end of the plurality of unbundled network elements to a second G.shdsl modem with bonding capability; providing the first modem with a first single stream of asynchronous transfer mode cells; negotiating the parameter n for transmission between the first and second modem during initialization; sequence-cell division multiplexing to divide the first single stream of asynchronous transfer mode cells into a plurality of streams of cells at the first modem; transmitting the plurality of streams of cells to the second modem via the plurality of unbundled network elements utilizing a plurality of G.shdsl transceivers; and sequence-cell division demultiplexing to bond the plurality of streams of cells into a second single stream of asynchronous transfer mode cells at the second modem and enable the backhaul application of digital data transfer.
