Abstract

ATM cells are used to transmit information supplied in the form of a series of separate, identically structured entities each corresponding to a whole independently usable by a given application. Each entity is transmitted as cells whose information field is identically composed of modules of fixed position and fixed size. A first module constitutes a cell continuity index. A second module contains entity data to be transmitted. A final module is established by means of a B. C. H. block type error detector-corrector code. A transmitter and a receiver include apparatus for implementing the method between a source application and a destination application across an ATM network.
