International Classification:

H04H 20/71

US Classification:

370312

Abstract:

A system and method are provided for transmitting signals while facilitating channel-specific signal insertion to local user terminals. In one mode, a communication device may operate to transmit signals from a remote signal source (via a communication network infrastructure) to one or more local user terminals. In a second, the communication device may insert a locally-obtained break-in signal into one or more downlink communication channels, and/or bands, thereby providing the break-in signal to one or more specific local user terminals. In this manner, communications over a communication channel to a local user terminal may be interrupted by or mixed with an inserted break-in signal to the user terminal. Additionally, the communication device may also operate to establish bidirectional communications between a local operator and one or more user terminals as well as relay communications between two or more local user terminals while bypassing the conventional network infrastructure.
