ABSTRACT:
A communication channel ownership arrangement where two call units (switching modules) each own certain ones of the bidirectional channels between the units. By virtue of ownership, a call unit can immediately assign owned channels to calls without consulting the other call unit. While the ownership of channels to calls may be artibrary at system initialization, ownership is modifiable on a per-call basis to dynamically adapt to the actual directional traffic patterns that are present at a given time to minimize the coordination and communication required between the call units.
