Abstract
A communication system is disclosed which can transmit a real-time cell and a nonreal-time cell with no jitters caused in the real-time cell. When a real-time cell and nonreal-time cell are outputted at a same timing, a priority control circuit ( ) passes the output timing of nonreal-time ATM cell once and sets in a flag memory ( ) a wait flag indicating that the nonreal-time cell output timing has been passed once. Also, when there is no real-time ATM cell, the priority control circuit ( ) judges whether a wait flag is set in the flag memory ( ), and allows to output one nonreal-time ATM cell when a flag is set.
