A multiplexing system in an ATM network is disclosed. The system produces low deviation in generation timing of a standard ATM cell and low transmission delay to realize high transmission efficiency. A cell multiplexing means is provided for assembling data received from a plurality of terminal lines into a short cell to be multiplexed into a standard ATM cell. A short cell is selected from a plurality of short cells to define a reference line. The short cell generation timing of the reference line is used as the reference timing to generate short cells for other lines so as to synchronize the generation timing. The short cells thus generated are then multiplexed into a standard ATM cell.
