Abstract
Abstract An internal timing information producing portion produces internal timing information IRTS1 to IRTS4 which is the timing information on a data reception clock by using a network clock C N and the data reception clock C RU . A calculator calculates the difference between the internal timing information IRTS1 to IRTS4 and the transmission timing information RRTS1 to RRTS4 contained in a received cell, and a data reception clock producing portion adjusts the timing of the data reception clock C RU so that the difference is zero and outputs the adjusted timing. An ATM cell decomposing portion outputs the user data D RU in synchronism with the data reception clock C RU which is input from the data reception clock producing portion.

Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
221 words
A transmission timing information converting device between an ATM network in which a transmitting apparatus produces transmission timing information which is the timing information on a data transmission clock by using a first network clock and said data transmission clock and transmits said transmission timing information in an ATM cell, and an ATM network in which a receiving apparatus produces internal timing information which is the timing information on a data reception clock by using a second network clock and said data reception clock and controls the timing of said data reception clock so that the difference between said internal timing information and the transmission timing information which is contained in said ATM cell received is zero, thereby rendering said data reception clock synchronous with said data transmission clock and enabling communication through ATM networks having different network clocks, said transmission timing information converting device comprising: a counting means for counting each of said first and second network clocks; a calculating means for calculating the difference between the count values; and a timing information correcting portion for correcting said transmission timing information contained in said ATM cell supplied from said ATM network of said transmitting apparatus on the basis of said difference and supplying said ATM cell with the corrected transmission timing information to said ATM network of said receiving apparatus.
