Hierarchical data collection network supporting packetized voice communications among wireless terminals and telephones

A method of processing data representative of voice signals, the method comprising:

• receiving first voice data representative of a first voice signal;
• queuing the first voice data;
• converting the first voice data into a first analog representation of the first voice signal;
• converting a second analog representation of a second voice signal into second voice data;
• removing from the second voice signal represented by the second voice data, a portion of the first voice signal representative of the first voice data;
• and
• adjusting queuing and converting the first voice data according to a rate of packet arrival.

A circuit for processing data representative of voice signals, the circuit having two signal paths comprising:

• in a first signal path,
• a queue for storing first voice data representative of a first voice signal;
• and
• a digital to analog converter having an output, the digital to analog converter for receiving the first voice data from the queue, the digital to analog converter converting the first voice data to a first analog representation of the first voice signal, and,
• in a second signal path,
• an analog to digital converter having an input, the analog to digital converter for converting a second analog representation of a second voice signal to second voice data;
• signal processing circuitry for removing from the second voice signal represented by the second voice data, a portion of the first voice signal representative of the first voice data;
• and
• wherein the operation of the queue is adjusted based upon a propagation delay of a communication network.
