Abstract
An Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) cell error processing system includes a plurality of error detectors for respectively detecting predetermined cell errors and for respectively generating decision signals and an error editing unit which is operatively coupled to the error detector and determines, based on the decision signals, whether or not a cell related to the decision signals should be discarded. A buffer, which is coupled to at least one of the error detectors, temporarily stores the cell. An error cell discarding unit, which is coupled to the error editing unit and the buffer, discards the cell from the buffer when the error editing unit determines that the cell should be discarded and relays the cell when the error editing unit determines that the cell should not be discarded.
