Abstract:
A method of interleaving cells in an asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) switching system, comprising the steps of:a) sequentially counting bits constituted for one or more ATM cell having a header field and an information field; b) storing bits corresponding to the header field; c) repeatedly segmenting bits corresponding to the information field in an n bit unit; d) sequentially coupling one bit of the header field stored in step b with 1st to (nâˆ’1)th bits in every n bit segment of the segmented information field in step c, and outputting the coupled result; e) transmitting only nth bits which have not b, en transmitted in the step d to the receiving side in a data unit; and f) transmitting bits which have not been transmitted in steps d and e to the receiving side.
