Communication system for transmission between ATM network and mobile radio system.

A communication system for transmission of data from an ATM network to a mobile radio system comprising interface apparatus coupled therebetween which is operative to remove from the header of each ATM cell entering the said system from the said network, VPI and VCI data, translator means responsive to the VPI and VCI data for appropriately coding data comprising the remainder of each cell from which the said VPI and VCI data has been removed so that it will be received by a mobile user having an address as indicated by the VPI and CPI data, and further comprising second translator means responsive to codes appertaining to user addresses for producing corresponding VPI and VCI data, and means for recombining this VPI and VCI data with data comprising the remainder of the cell from which it was removed, thereby to produce whole cells suitable for transmission from the said system to a mobile terminal.
