Abstract
Abstract A cell assembly and multiplexing device includes short cell assembly parts which store input information received via respective input lines and add short cell headers to the input information so that short cells having the short cell headers are assembled, and a multiplexing part which arranges the short cells in given fields of standard cells having a given standard format and a fixed cell length and outputs the standard cells having the short cells to a transmission line.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 15
Claim 1
Independent Claim
98 words
A cell assembly and multiplexing device comprising: short cell assembly parts which store input information received via respective input lines and add short cell headers to said input information so that short cells having said short cell headers are assembled; and a multiplexing part which arranges the short cells in given fields of standard cells having a given standard format and a fixed cell length and outputs the standard cells having the short cells to a transmission line, said multiplexing part including a selector which selects one of the short cell assembly parts without buffering said input information.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
98 words
A cell assembly and multiplexing device comprising: short cell assembly parts which store input information received via respective input lines and add short cell headers to said input information so that short cells having said short cell headers are assembled; and a multiplexing part which arranges the short cells in given fields of standard cells having a given standard format and a fixed cell length and outputs the standard cells having the short cells to a transmission line, said multiplexing part including a selector which selects one of the short cell assembly parts without buffering said input information.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
63 words
The cell assembly and multiplexing device as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a process part which is provided to another input line and arranges information received via said another input line so that standard cells including said information can be formed, wherein said multiplexing part multiplexes the standard cells assembled in said process part with the standard cells including the short cells.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
36 words
The cell assembly and multiplexing device as claimed in claim 1, wherein said multiplexing part multiplexes standard cells transferred over another input line and stored in a buffer with the standard cells including the short cells.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
37 words
The cell assembly and multiplexing device as claimed in claim 1, wherein said short cell assembling parts assemble the short cells for each channel multiplexed in each of the input lines in a time division multiplexing formation.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
64 words
The cell assembly and multiplexing device as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a switch part which is provided at input sides of the short cell assembly parts and switches time slots multiplexed on the input lines in a time division multiplexing formation so that information in each of the time slots is applied to a corresponding one of the short cell assembly parts.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
44 words
The cell assembly and multiplexing device as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a multiplexer which is provided at input sides of the short cell assembly parts and multiplexes time slots that are multiplexed on the input lines in a time division multiplexing formation.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
31 words
The cell assembly and multiplexing device as claimed in claim 1, wherein said multiplexing part arranges the short cells in the given fields of standard cells in a given priority order.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
125 words
A short cell demultiplexing device comprising: a short cell discriminating part which discriminates a short cell arranged in a standard cell having a given standard format and transferred via a transmission line by referring to a short cell header of the short cell; and a short cell extracting part which extracts, from at least one standard cell, the short cell discriminated by said short cell discriminating part, wherein said short cell extracting part comprises: a short cell memory which stores the short cell arranged in at least one standard cell and discriminated by the short cell discriminating part; a write controller which performs a write control of the short cell memory; and a read controller which performs a read control of the short cell memory.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
125 words
A short cell demultiplexing device comprising: a short cell discriminating part which discriminates a short cell arranged in a standard cell having a given standard format and transferred via a transmission line by referring to a short cell header of the short cell; and a short cell extracting part which extracts, from at least one standard cell, the short cell discriminated by said short cell discriminating part, wherein said short cell extracting part comprises: a short cell memory which stores the short cell arranged in at least one standard cell and discriminated by the short cell discriminating part; a write controller which performs a write control of the short cell memory; and a read controller which performs a read control of the short cell memory.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
70 words
The short cell demultiplexing device as claimed in claim 8, further comprising a connection setting memory which stores information concerning a connection which is set for each call, wherein said write controller performs the write control of the short cell memory when connection setting information included in a header of the standard cell applied to said short cell discriminating part coincides with the information stored in said connection setting memory.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
53 words
The short cell demultiplexing device as claimed in claim 9, wherein further comprising an error check part which determines whether a given continuity of standard cells received is satisfied and concludes that an error of a transfer of the standard cells occurs if it is determined that the given continuity is not satisfied.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
83 words
The short cell demultiplexing device as claimed in claim 9, further comprising a cell assembly part which arranges the short cell read from the short cell memory in a given field of a standard cell to be output from the short cell demultiplexing device by referring to control information necessary to arrange the short cell in the cell assembly part, said control information relating to the information concerning the connection which is set for each cell and stored in said connection setting memory.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
44 words
The short cell demultiplexing device as claimed in claim 8, further comprising a cell assembly part which arranges the short cell read from the short cell memory in a given field of a standard cell to be output from the short cell demultiplexing device.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
65 words
The short cell demultiplexing device as claimed in claim 9, further comprising: an overlap detection part which detects a short cell which extends over two standard cells; and a control part which controls said write controller and said read controller so that separated parts of the short cell detected by said overlap detection part are successively written into said short cell memory and read therefrom.
