Abstract

In ATM networks, the information transmitted in ATM cells is subject to jitter. This should be avoided particularly in the transmission of video signals and voice signals. The method provides a remedy here by reading the ATM cells into a buffer memory at the transmission clock rate and by reading them out again using the average value of the jitter.
