A method and system for enhancing a voice channel in voice over Internet
protocol includes an integrated access device (IAD) that receives voice
data from user devices, removes RTP/UDP header and IP header information,
and generates an AAL2 CPS cell. A Registration, Administration and Status
(RAS) server receives the AAL2 CPS cell, removes the AAL2 information and
adds an RTP/UDP header and IP header, such that an IP packet is output
for Internet transport. The RAS server can also receive an IP packet and
convert the IP packet to an AAL2 CPS cell, to be transported to the IAD.
The RAS performs the conversion in accordance with header data received
from the IAD that is stored in, and removed from, a lookup table in
response to command signals sent by the IAD. Thus, the asymmetric digital
subscriber line (ADSL) handles an increased number of calls, and at an
increased efficiency.
