ABSTRACT:
A multi-host subscriber loop (10, 70) includes N central office terminals (22-26, 78) coupled to a local exchange (20, 76), where one of the N central office terminals (22, 110) is directly coupled to all other central office terminals (24-26, 112-114). M remote terminals (40-46, 100-104) are coupled to a plurality of telephone service subscribers. A single network facility (16, 76) is coupled between the M remote terminals and N central office terminals. The single network facility concentrates subscriber traffic, control information and associated signaling onto one message structure (60, 140). Messages in this message structure are transmitted between the remote terminals and central office terminals. The message structure includes a plurality of time slots, a first predetermined number of the time slots being allocated to N control channels, at least one time slot being allocated to associated signaling, and remaining time slots being allocated to subscriber traffic.
