A conference bridge 240 provides the application logic and is coupled to the mixer 350. This system 300 is similar to the system 200 with two differences: 1) the addition of a device called a mixer 350 and 2) full-duplex coupling of CPEs to the mixer instead of to other CPEs. 3 is a functional block diagram of a teleconference network 300 in accordance with an aspect of the present invention wherein automatic mute detection with sound mixing is performed by a mixer disposed in the telecommunications network. Sound mixing in that configuration is performed by the “host” CPE.įIG. In another one conference call configuration, each CPE is linked by a full-duplex connection to a single “host” CPE. The system 200 is commonly referred to as having full mesh connectivity as illustrated by the three pairs of directional arrows from every CPE to every other CPE. Sound mixing in the teleconference system 200 is provided by one or more of the CPEs. In this example the CPEs are wireless devices, but any device fixed or wireless which enables the system functionality could be utilized. The conference bridge 240 may provide application logic facilitating full-duplex communication. Specifically, CPE 225, 227 and 229 are coupled respectively through AN 1 230, AN 2 232 and AN 3 234 to reach the network 210. In the system 200, each participating CPE in the teleconference call is coupled to a respective access network (AN) to reach a long-haul network. 2 is a functional block diagram of a teleconference system 200 in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention including automatic mute detection with sound mixing performed by the CPE.
