Abstract

A normal synchronous time multiplexed system has low capacity utilisation of a trunk channel, owing to the ON-OFF nature of speech in human conversation. A time assignment speech interpolation (TASI) system nearly doubles this efficiency, at relatively small increase in hardware cost. In TASI, during the silent period of speech, the channel is allotted to some other ‘active’ subscriber on a first-come-first-serve basis. A microprocessor based system offers a very cost effective solution from hardware count. Intel 8085 A has been selected for the purpose. The microprocessor functions in a distributed processing mode together with the main CPU controlling the stored program exchange. The system uses digital dynamic speech detectors for detecting transitions in speech over a channel, as they show considerably superior performance over amplitude detectors. An assembly language program for the system has been developed.
