Abstract
The goal of this research is to resolve the difference between variable-sized packets (or frames) in multimedia application and fixed and small size cells in Broadband Integrated-Services Digital Networks (B-ISDN) with Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM). In particular, I propose a new operation mode of multimedia application adaptation layer (MAAL) as a supplement of existing four AAL types. The new AAL protocol supports streams of co-related cells in order to reduce the processing overhead and simplify the traffic scheduling at the application level. Furthermore it re-synchronizes the multimedia traffics through the Asynchronous Transfer Mode network interface.
