  • Patent number: 6512747
    Abstract: In an ATM transmission system in which a plurality of ATM cells are grouped to a packet with an end of ATM cell having an EOP (End Of Packet) flag, a transmitting station comprises a transmit buffer for storing temporarily ATM cells to be transmitted, a transmit cell process means which discards all the ATM cells in the group in case that a NAK response indicating loss or wrong reception of an ATM cell is received from a receiving station, and an EOP cell generator for transmitting an EOP cell which has said EOP flag in stead of the discarded ATM cells. As no ATM cell in a packet is transmitted after an erroneous ATM cell is detected, no useless ATM cell which would be discarded in a destination terminal equipment because of an erroneous ATM cell occupies a transmission line when an erroneous ATM cell is detected, and traffic is saved.
