More specifically, the present invention is implemented in an Asynchronous Transfer Mode 1 (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) , communication system and method under ATM, especially the improved method of standard UT〇piAit^ interface between ATM layer and PHY layer of network communication protocol architecture. [Prior Art] Referring to the first figure, a schematic diagram showing a conventional ATM message format is shown. As shown in the first figure, in the ATM network environment, information (including sound, video, etc.) is cut and packaged in a small cell (cel 1), and the length of the cell is fixed at fifty = one bit. Group (Byte), in which the first five bytes are the header information of the cell, Headη Header), which is used to indicate the source, purpose and type of the cell, and the remaining forty-eight bytes are carried (Payload). The information to be delivered. Please refer to the second figure, and please refer to the first figure, which shows the user-network interface (UNI) cell format and network-network interface (Network-Network Interface, Li I) Cell format. As shown in Figure _, the GFC (Generic Flow Control) · Flow Control field is used to control the traffic between the user and the network. This field only transmits signals between the UNI 〇 Jser-MetTO: rk Interface interface to represent flow control. In the cell transmitted between the Network-Network Interface interfaces, this shelf will be expanded to the VPI field. The following is a detailed description of each header information bit: VPI (Virtual Path Identifier): A virtual path identification code used to identify which virtual path the cell belongs to. VCI (Virtual Channel Identifier): A virtual channel ID that identifies which virtual channel the cell belongs to. PTI (Payload Type Identifier): The payload type identification code (3 digits 1262009 yuan) is used to identify the data type of the bearer. CLP (Cell Loss Priority): The cell loss priority (1 bit) used to indicate the discarding priority of this cell when it encounters congestion. When CLP=1, it means that this cell can be discarded first. HEC (Header Error Correction): The cell header error correction field (8 bits) is used to correct any one of the first four bytes of the cell header and detect multiple bit errors. Among them, in the cell structure, VPI and VCI are the two most important parts. The two parts together form the routing information of a cell, which is the source and destination of the cell. The ATM device determines the line to be transmitted based on the VPI and VCI on each cell. Please refer to the third figure, and please refer to the first and second figures for a block diagram of the operation of the conventional ATM. As shown in the third figure, the ATM protocol consists of three layers: the physical layer, the ATM layer, and the ATM Adaptation Layer (AAL). The physical layer is a transmission medium (such as optical fiber, twisted pair) and interface connector, and the ATM layer is responsible for processing the ATM cell, and is responsible for transmitting and receiving the cell in the workstation, and is responsible for completing the cell in the switch. Exchange and multiplex. Since the units of the upper layer communication protocol transfer data are packets of different lengths, the ATM layer processes fixed-length cells. Therefore, an ATM adjustment layer is required in the middle to coordinate the two. Please refer to the fourth figure, which shows a system block diagram between the PHY layer of the conventional technology ATM layer. As shown in the fourth figure, the Universal Test Operation PHY Interface For ATM (UTOPIA) adopts the asynchronous transfer mode. In the general case, the ATM device 13 is directly connected to the PHY device 15, and the standard UTOPIA communication interface allows the transmission of signals between the ATM device 13 and the PHY device 15 to operate normally. However, under the current demand for high-capacity and high-speed switching, the architecture of the communication system 1262009 is becoming more and more complicated. In some cases, the system designer will hope that the UTOPIA ATM device 13 can transmit through a high-speed transmission medium (Transmission Media). ) Interfacing with UTOPIA's PHY device 15. In 1995, the ATM-Form Technical Committee designated the UTOPIA Level 2 bus as the standard interface between the ATM layer (data link) and the ATM physical layer chip. Currently, the standard UTOPIA Level 2 bus can support data transfer speeds of 622 Mbps, while the UTOPIA Level 2 standard supports up to 31 physical layer chips (slave) and one ATM layer chip (master). SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the prior art, most of the cards are added to the communication system to increase the number of transmissions from the ATM to the PHY layer. However, in the UTOPIA Level 2 standard, a master chip (Master) It can only be expanded to a maximum of 31 transmission ports, and can only be added to four cards with eight transmission ports or two cards with sixteen transmission ports, so that a typical transmission chip usually has only 16 or 31 transmission ports. Therefore, in order to 'improve the transmission efficiency of the communication system, an ATM communication system and method for improving the UT〇pIA communication interface of this limitation are needed. The object of the present invention is to provide an ATM communication method for improving the UTOPIA communication interface, which is to increase the transmission path between the ATM layer and the PHY layer by setting the header bit of the cell to expand the connection of the main transmission port. The object of the present invention is to provide an ATM communication system with improved UTOPIA communication interface, which is configured by using a multi-pass transmission process between standard UTOPIA communication interfaces, by using the processor as a source or destination for transmission. According to the basis, the number of transmissions and the transmission efficiency of the A-layer PHY layer are further improved. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a cell multiplex processor that processes the source or destination of a cell between the ATM layer and the PHY layer such that an input of an ATM device can correspond to a plurality of PHY devices. The object of the present invention is to provide a cell multiplex processor, which can increase the number of ATM layer transmissions and directly interface through a high speed transmission medium between the atm layer and the 1262009 PHY layer. The high-speed transmission medium is the "AT Μ communication system for improving the communication interface of the U.S.P.a communication interface" disclosed in the applicant's allotment No. 527796. The present invention provides a multiplex processing device comprising: a standard ϋτ〇ρΐΑ Level 2 interface, interfacing with a plurality of transmission ports of the ATM device to process the transmission of the cell; and an extended UTOPIA interface, and a plurality of ρΗγ The transmission of the device is interfaced to process the transmission of the cell, wherein the multiplex processing device determines the source transmission of the cell according to the header bit of the cell and transmits to the transmission port corresponding to the header bit. The multiplex processing device is implemented as an integrated circuit, and further includes a cell transmission processor that decodes the address of the transmission port from the header bit and transmits the cell information to The transmission port corresponding to the header bit. The present invention provides a ΑΤΜ communication system for improving a UTOPIA communication interface, comprising: an ATM device located at a ΑΤΜ layer; a plurality of m devices located at a Η γ layer; and a multiplex transmission processing device interposed between the ΑΤΜ layer and the Η Η γ layer Interchanging the information transmitted by the ατμ device to an appropriate device transmission device; wherein the multiplexing process determines the source of the cell according to the header bit of the cell and transmits the signal to the header location The corresponding transmission port includes: a standard UT 〇 piA Level 2 interface, which is interfaced with one of the plurality of rims of the ATM layer; and an extended UT 〇 piA interface that interfaces with a plurality of multiplexers of the PHY layer. The 'ATM communication system further includes a high-speed transmission medium between the ATM layer and the PHY layer'. The "improved U 〇 〇p I A communication interface ATM communication system" disclosed in the invention announcement No. 527796.

The method further includes: using an undefined bit of the header bit, a partial GFC bit, a partial VPI bit or a partial VCI bit, etc. as the address of the PHY device transport port. [Embodiment] Please refer to the fifth figure, and please refer to the first figure and the second figure, which is a block diagram showing the implementation of the ATM communication system of the improved UTOPIA communication interface of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 5, an ATM communication system for improving the UTOPIA communication interface mainly includes an ATM device for exchanging signals of the input layer of the ATM layer into an appropriate PHY layer transmission port; and a multiplex transmission processing device. Between the ATM layer and the PHY layer, including: a standard UTOPIALevel 2 interface 17 for supporting transmission communication with the ATM layer to transmit data; and an extension UTOPIA interface 19 for transmission to the PHY layer The transmission communication of the multiplex processing device, wherein the processing of the cell exchange between the ATM layer and the PHY layer comprises a signal transmission processor 18 for determining the cell according to the header bit of the cell The source is transmitted and transmitted to the transmission port corresponding to the header bit. The primary task of the ATM device 16 is to switch the cells transmitted by each input to the ATM layer to the appropriate PHY layer transport port. Since the ATM network is a wire-oriented transmission, the path is determined before the channel enters the network. When the cell belonging to the connection enters the ATM device, the switch can check the routing table of the connection and know which PHY layer the cell should transmit. In order to easily distinguish these passing lines, each connection can be called a virtual channel. Therefore each virtual channel has a virtual channel identification code (VCI). In order to allow the switch to work more efficiently on the switched line, several wires can be combined to be called a virtual path (virtual 1262009 path). Therefore, each virtual path has ~^ virtual path identification code (VPI). The ATM, £/TmT, and + communication methods that invented the UTOPIA communication interface were distinguished by setting different (VPI, VCI) to distinguish between a communication line and a connection on the reverse path. For example, taking the UNI cell format as an example, the VPI 盥νΓτ々 and "vu" of the header information are each 8-bit and 16-bit, and thus the ATM layer transmission can be extended by a part of the VPI or VCI. When the cell communication enters the ATM layer to transmit the rim, if the cell header bit is Wi, V(1) = (20, 30) ' then the VPI of the header bit is processed by the ATM device 16 The VCI value will become (1G0, 2G0). In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, taking the UNI cell format as an example, the virtual path identification code and the virtual channel identification code of Shantou Information are 8 bits and 16 bits, respectively. If you want to expand the transmission layer of the ATM layer to eight or sixteen transmission ports, you can use the VPI or part of the VCI to set the number of transmission parameters to be expanded according to the way the network is addressed. When the user wants to expand the atm layer transmission to eight transmission ports, the user can set the three bits in the VPI or VCI bit to set, so the corresponding bit generated by the three bits (0) 0 〇~111) can be used to set eight corresponding ATM layer transmission ports, so that the same ATM layer transmission can have different (VPI) 'VCI' value. Relatively, if the user wants to expand the ATM layer transmission to 16 transmission ports, it can be set by four bits in the vpj or VCI bit, and by four bits. The generated corresponding bit (0000~1111) is set to sixteen corresponding layer transfer rims. According to the ATM communication method of the present invention, the ATM device interfaces with the multiplex processing device using the standard UTOPIA Level 2 interface, and The header information of the cell information is addressed as the identification PHY device transmission. Please continue to refer to the fifth figure. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, when the cell passes through the ATM device 16, the VPI of the original cell is used. The /VCI value will be changed from (20, 30) to (1〇〇, 200), and by the above addressing method, to capture three bits in the VPI or VCI bit, then three bits are used. The generated corresponding bits (000~111) can be used to set up to eight corresponding ATM layer transmission ports, and the extended eight ATM layer transmission ports have unique VPI/VCI identification codes, namely 1262009 (100,200). , ( 132,200), ( 164,200), (196,200), (228, 200), (260, 200), (292, 200) and (3 24, 200).
這些(VPI,VCI)辨識碼係記錄在每一個在通訊線路上傳 送的訊胞上。接著當ATM裝置16將該訊胞資傳送至一訊胞傳輸處 理器18,該處理器將會依據訊胞資訊之標頭資訊,例如,該 (VPI,VCIM132,200),則該訊胞傳輸處理器18會主動判斷並辨 識該訊胞資訊之來源傳輸埠為第二傳輸埠。其中,該訊胞傳輸處 理器18在判斷來源傳輸埠後,會自動將該訊胞資訊之標頭資訊的 (VPI,VCI)值復原為原始資訊之(VPI,VCI),即復原為(20,30), 再傳送至PHY層傳輸埠。因此,並不會影響到訊胞的原始資料。 換而言之,當ATM裝置16經由ATM傳輸埠將資料傳送至 PHY層時,該訊胞資訊在經過ATM裝置16處理後其vp I /ye I值 將變成(100,200)’最後經過訊胞傳輸處理器1 §後,該vpI /yc I 值將還原變成(20, 30)。然而,當訊胞多路傳輸處理器a收到該 訊胞時便可依(vpi,vci)值來判斷該訊胞是屬於哪一條ATM傳 輸埠所傳送。 相對的’如PHY層欲傳輸訊胞至ATM層時,訊胞經過訊胞多These (VPI, VCI) identification codes are recorded on each cell that is transmitted on the communication line. Then, when the ATM device 16 transmits the message to a cell transmission processor 18, the processor will transmit the signal according to the header information of the cell information, for example, the (VPI, VCIM132, 200). The processor 18 actively determines and recognizes the source transmission of the cell information as the second transmission port. The cell transmission processor 18 automatically restores the (VPI, VCI) value of the header information of the cell information to the original information (VPI, VCI) after determining the source transmission, that is, reverts to (20) , 30), and then transmitted to the PHY layer transmission port. Therefore, it does not affect the original data of the cell. In other words, when the ATM device 16 transmits data to the PHY layer via ATM transmission, the channel information will be changed to (100, 200) after being processed by the ATM device 16. After the cell transfer processor 1 §, the vpI /yc I value is restored to (20, 30). However, when the cell multiplexer a receives the cell, it can determine (vpi, vci) the ATM cell to which the cell belongs. When the PHY layer wants to transmit the signal to the ATM layer, the cell passes through the cell.
