DIGITAL PACKET NETWORK FOR THE LOCAL ACCESS LOOP

摘要

A digital packet access network for transporting voice and data signals in the local loop between a central office location and a plurality of remote local users. The network architecture may also include: 1) a dual-pipelined structure for separately transporting the voice and data signals; 2) a mechanism for prioritizing the transport of the voice signals; or 3) a method of synchronizing the timing of the voice signals to a telephone switch.
