Abstract

A base station in a subscriber communication network for communicating signals between subscriber stations and an external communication network having a plurality of ports. The base station includes a communication circuit for enabling simultaneous communications between a plurality of the ports and a plurality of subscriber stations over a given communication channel having multiple sequentially repetitive time slots; a remote-connection processor for directing communications between the time slot assigned to a given subscriber station and a given external communication network port; and an exchange for connecting the communication circuit to the external communication network ports. The exchange includes a central concentrator for directing signals from predetermined external network ports to predetermined sequentially repetitive time slots in a bit stream generated by the central concentrator, and for directing signals to predetermined external network ports from predetermined sequentially repetitive time slots in a bit stream received by the central concentrator; and the remote-connection processor directs signal transfer between given sequentially repetitive time slots of the…
