System and method for completing a call while at least one call is established using analog interface to telephone network

A method for attempting completion of a call, while at least one call is in progress, between a subscriber premises and a telecommunications network where the subscriber premises is connected by at least one point-of-attachment to the telecommunications network comprising

• establishing a channel between the telecommunications network and the subscriber premises,
• transmitting from the telecommunications network through a channel to the subscriber premises signaling information from a remote device that a call is desired,
• receiving at the telecommunications network from the subscriber premises a packetized modulated analog signal having a separate channel for each call,
• splitting the packetized modulated analog signal into respective calls which are transmitted within the same channel as the corresponding signaling information, and
• forwarding each call via the telecommunications network to the subscriber premises.

A system for attempting completion of a call, while at least one call is in progress, between a subscriber premises and a telecommunications network where the subscriber premises is connected by at least one point-of-attachment to the telecommunications network comprising

• at least two channels for carrying signaling information and user information between the subscriber premises and the telecommunications network indicative of a plurality of calls;
• a means located within the telecommunications network for receiving a packetized modulated analog signal having a separate channel for each call;
• and
• multi-call service element for splitting the packetized modulated analog signal into respective calls which are transmitted within the same channel as the corresponding signaling information and forwarding each call to a respective remote device based on information received through the channel.

• a means located within the telecommunications network for receiving a packetized modulated analog signal having a separate channel for each call;
• and
• a multi-call service element for combining at the premises the channels that have originated from terminal equipment into a packetized modulated analog signal having a separate channel for each call, wherein the packetized modulated analog signal is transmitted within the same channel as the corresponding signaling information and forwarding each call to the subscriber premises.

A method for attempting completion of a call, while at least one call is in progress, between terminal equipment and a telephone network where the terminal equipment is connected by at least one point-of-attachment to the telephone network comprising

• establishing a channel between the telephone network and the terminal equipment,
• communicating signaling information between the terminal equipment and the telephone network through the channel including identity information of terminal equipment with which a call is desired,
• using channel for communicating user information,
• combining at the premises the channels that have originated from terminal equipment into a packetized modulated analog signal having a separate channel for each call,
• transmitting the signal from a modulation/demodulation device incorporated with the terminal equipment as a packetized modulated analog signal to the telephone network,
• splitting the packetized modulated analog signal into respective calls which are transmitted within the same channel as the corresponding signaling information, and
• forwarding each call to a respective remote device based on identity information received through the control channel.
