Disclosed are a system and method for providing wireless access to a network, such as the internet. The disclosed technique takes into account the inherent asymmetric and bursty characteristics of internet communication to obtain more efficiency in the communication between a user and an access provider. In doing so, the invention provides a technique that can be used to economically provide wireless access to the internet at data rates that are comparable to what a user would receive over ISDN lines.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A method of providing wireless access to a network comprising the steps of:wirelessly transmitting an electromagnetic signal containing identification information from a user terminal to a base station;assigning a predefined frequency range and a time slot for data transmission between the user terminal and the base station;at the user terminal segmenting data of a first format into frames of a predetermined length and transmitting (the data) from the user terminal to the base station at the assigned frequency range and time slot;at the base station, receiving the segmented data from the user terminal;recombining the segmented data received from the user terminal into a first format and providing the recombined data to the network;receiving data in the first format from the network at the base station, segmenting the received data from the network into the frames of the predetermined length, and transmitting the segmented data from the base station to the user terminal at a preassigned frequency range and time slot;at the user terminal, receiving the segmented data from the base station; andrecombining the segmented data received from the base station into the first format; andwherein data transmitted from the base station to the user terminal is allocated a larger portion of each of the frames than allocated to data which is transmitted from the user terminal to the base station.
