The process of detecting lost data cells in a telecommunication system that employs Asynchronous Transfer Mode is significantly improved in terms of bandwidth utilization by using an optional minicell or ATM cell sequence count. This may be accomplished by inserting the minicell or ATM cell sequence count into the ATM cell stream at intervals that can be adjusted at the transmitting station.

[ What is claimed is:] [3.] In a telecommunication system that transports data packets from a sending station to a receiving station, a method for detecting lost data, comprising the steps of:generating a data packet sequence number that represents a number of data packets transmitted via data cells to the receiving station;inserting the data packet sequence number into a select data cell as a function of a predefined and adjustable transmission interval;transporting the data cell containing the data packet sequence number to a receiving station; andat the receiving station, determining whether data has been lost as a function of the data packet sequence number.
