Abstract
Systems and methods for point-to-multipoint communications with CAS are provided. In one embodiment, a method for providing CAS for a point-to-multipoint communication network comprises: providing a network having a first network interface adapted to communicate with a first fractional network interface and a second fractional network interface; mapping a first set of user-data timeslots of the first network interface to timeslots of the first fractional network interface and mapping a second set of user-data timeslots of the first network interface to timeslots of the second fractional network interface, the first set including a first N user-data timeslots and the second set including a next M user-data timeslots; mapping a first set of signaling bits associated with the first set of user-data timeslots with the first fractional network interface; and mapping a second set of signaling bits associated with the second set of user-data timeslots with the second fractional network interface.
