ABSTRACT:
A hybrid multiplexing method and communications system for controlling transmission of information between a plurality of remote terminals and a shared central facility over a common communications channel. The remote terminals are synchronously polled to ascertain whether or not the remote terminals desire access to the central facility. Asynchronous polling is utilized to establish communication between the central unit and the remote terminals desiring access to the central unit.
