APC Unit Scheduling Mechanism

The APC unit consists of an APC data structure in the dual-port RAM for each PHY and a special

scheduling algorithm performed by the CP. Each PHY’s APC data structure includes three elements: an

APC parameter table, an APC priority table, and cell transmission scheduling tables for each priority level.

(See Section 31.10.4, “APC Data Structure.”)

Each PHY’s APC parameter table holds parameters that define the priority table location, the number of

priority levels, and other APC parameters. The priority table holds pointers that define the location and

size of each priority level’s scheduling table.

Each scheduling table is divided into time slots, as shown in Figure 31-1. The user determines the number

of ATM cells to be sent each time slot (cells per slot). After a channel is sent, it is removed from the current

time slot and advanced to a future time slot according to the channel’s assigned traffic rate (specified in

time slots). The PCR parameter in the TCT, or the SCR or MCR parameters in the TCT extension (TCTE)

determine the channel’s actual rate.

When ABR flow control is active, the CP automatically adapts the APC parameters PCR,

PCR_FRACTION. These parameters function as the channel’s allowed cell rate (ACR).
