Abstract :
This paper presents the concept of multiple call establishment through the PSTN for multimedia traffic. The idea is to use new techniques for toll-quality voice compression to allow several calls between the end-user terminal equipment and the PSTN using the same telephone number and on the same local loop. The requirements for a control channel to achieve this functionality are reviewed and the implications of the proposed service are discussed
