Abstract

In time division communication systems one conference technique is to have a processor combine those samples going to a particular station forming a conference having as many subcombinations as there are stations. This approach, while allowing individual station gain adjustment, suffers from its dependence upon a large number of logic operations for a given conference. A modification of this technique is disclosed which uses a distributed structure such that the individual station ports, under local memory and processor control, operate to combine selected time slot samples into a conference sum unique to the station. In this manner gain values may be assigned on an individual listener station basis while the logic processing for the conference is performed in parallel by the ports involved in the conference.
