System for and method of multiplexing speech signals utilizing priority signals for individual transmission channels

摘要

A system for and a method of multiplexing digital speech signals corresponding to speech signals inputted from a plurality of terminals, the digital speech signals including a plurality of speech unit signals, in which a weighted priority signal is produced for the speech unit signal of each of the speech signals from the terminals, an assignement signal is produced from the priority signals indicative of which of the speech unit signals be selected for transmission in the form of a train of multiplexed speech unit signals in a cyclic transmission period of time, so that the speech unit signals are multiplexed on the basis of the assignment signal.
