(b) HEC error control
While cell synchronization is established, a one-bit error of a cell header is corrected and errors of multiple bits
are detected by means of header error control (HEC). As a result of the header error control processing, only the
valid cell that includes error correction and which does not offer error correction in the header is stored into the
receive FIFO and transferred to the ATM interface. Figure 3-18 shows the status transition of header error
control.

Cell is dropped without correcting error.
•
An error of only one bit is corrected in the correction mode and then the detection mode is set.
• HEC errors are continuously monitored in the correction mode. If errors are detected
α
times in a row, the
status is changed from the cell synchronization status to the hunting status.
•
Whether a 1-bit error is corrected when it has been detected, and the condition in which the mode is changed
from detection mode to correction mode can be specified by using the MDATMR register.
