Abstract

A reference is made to ATM cells by dividing the cells into groups (31, 32, 33, 34) which are identified on the basis of a group-oriented serial number and/or on the basis of the combination of identifiers included in the cells of the group. In the latter case, the combination of the identifiers is compared with a given predefined aperiodic character string. A given cell within the group is identified on the basis of which cell it is counting from the beginning and/or from the end of the group, or on the basis of the identifier included in the cell.
