PULSE CODE MODULATION SWITCHING SYSTEM UTILIZING TASI

摘要

A telecommunication switching system is provided in which communication connections are set up in a time division multiplex (TDM) manner to convey intelligence by pulse code modulation (PCM). The system utilizes time assigned signal interpolation (TASI) techniques so that during a silent period in a communication connection the communicatees can be disconnected from the multiplex highway, and can be re-connected to said highway whenever a new burst of intelligence commences from either communicatee.
