Abstract
In a method and circuit arrangement for transmitting a continuous bit stream upon involvement of an ATM network, the continuous bit stream appears with a transmission bit rate that is greater than a transmission bit rate respectively defined for inputs (E1, . . . ,En) and outputs (A1, . . . ,An) of the ATM network (KE). This continuous bit stream is subdivided into signal sections that, with respect to their bit plurality plus a defined plurality of information bits, correspond to the plurality of bits transmittable in the information part of a message cell as useful signals. In successive control cycles, a plurality of signal sections corresponding in number to the bit rate ratio of the appertaining transmission bit rates are respectively inserted into the information part of a message cell with a signal section sequence number that continuously varies attached to them. The message cells are then transmitted via different transmission paths within the ATM network and are subsequently joined again to form a continuous bit stream according to the measure of the signal section sequence numbers contained in the message cells.
