Abstract
A system and method for directly converting encoded speech-frames in a conference environment communication system which has a transmitting unit that transmits an input signal of an input modulation type, a plurality of receiving units that each receive an output signal of an output modulation type and a direct interface system that directly interfaces the input signal to the plurality of output signals.
Claims104
A mobile telephonic communication system, comprising:
- a transmitting unit for transmitting an input signal corresponding to an input modulation type;
- a plurality of receiving units for receiving a plurality of output signals each corresponding to a plurality of output modulation types;
- and
- a direct interface system directly interfacing the input signal to each of the output signals.
A system for routing data from a transmit unit to a plurality of receive units, comprising
- a plurality of input modulation types, one of which represents the modulation type of the input signal from the transmit unit;
- a plurality of output modulation types, one or which represents the modulation type of the data to one of the plurality of receive units;
- and
- an interface matrix which selects one output modulation type corresponding to the modulation type of the input signal from the transmit unit;
- wherein the interface matrix directly interfaces the one output modulation type to the modulation type of the input signal with no more than one modulation conversion.
A mobile telephone communication system, comprising:
- a plurality of mobile telephones each operating in accordance with one of a plurality of different modulation schemes;
- and
- means for selectively, directly interfacing input signals received from one of the plurality of mobile telephones having one of the plurality of different modulating types directly to the corresponding output signals of another one of the plurality of modulation types prior to transmitting the corresponding output signals to the other mobile telephone.
A mobile telephonic communication method, comprising the steps of:
- operating one of a plurality of mobile telephones in accordance with one of a plurality of different modulation schemes;
- and
- selectively, directly interfacing input signals received from the one of the plurality of mobile telephones having one of the plurality of different modulating schemes directly to corresponding output signals of another one of the plurality of modulation schemes;
- and
- transmitting the corresponding output signals to the other one of the plurality of telephones after the step of interfacing.
A method for mobile telephonic communication, comprising:
- transmitting an input signal, corresponding to an input modulation type, for a transmitting unit;
- receiving a plurality of output signals, each corresponding to a plurality of output modulation types, at a plurality of receiving units;
- and
- directly interfacing the input signal to each of the output signals.
