Abstract

A method, and associated apparatus, formats asynchronous data, such as ATM data traffic, and synchronous data, such as synchronous voice traffic, pursuant to a common format. Once formatted pursuant to the common format, data generated during operation of two different types of communication systems can be communicated over a common radio link. A single frequency band can be used to communicate communication signals generated during operation of at least two separate communication systems.
