Method for forming multiple bidirectional connections for use in asynchronous transfer mode switching device
First Claim
1. A method for forming multiple bidirectional connections for use in an asynchronous transfer mode switching device, comprising the steps of:
- recognizing a connection request message sent from one calling subscriber, including information concerning other n-1 called subscribers, in said asynchronous transfer mode switching device;
transmitting the connection request message at once or sequentially to said n-1 called subscribers from the asynchronous transfer mode switching device;
transmitting a response to the calling subscriber from the asynchronous transfer mode switching device when the asynchronous transfer mode switching device receives the response sent back from one of the n-1 called subscribers;
establishing bidirectional connections between the calling subscriber and the one of the n-1 called subscribers;
converting the response into a reception message;
transmitting the reception message to all others of the called subscribers; and
establishing bidirectional connections among the n-1 called subscribers, excepting for the calling subscriber.

Abstract
A method for establishing bidirectional connections and multiple connections performed by an ATM switching device is disclosed, and the method may include the steps of recognizing a connection request message sent from one calling subscriber, including information concerning other n-1 called subscribers in the asynchronous transfer mode switching device transmitting the connection request message to the n-1 called subscribers, and transmitting a response to the calling subscriber from the n-1 called subscribers from the asynchronous transfer mode switching device; and establishing bidirectional connections between the calling subscriber and the called subscribers.

3. A method for forming multiple bidirectional connections for use in an asynchronous transfer mode switching device, comprising the steps of:
-
in said asynchronous transfer mode switching device, recognizing connection request message, from one calling subscriber, including information concerning other n-1 called subscribers, transmitting said connection request message including information concerning said calling subscriber and remaining subscribers at once or sequentially to said other n-1 called subscribers, responsive to said connections request message, from said asynchronous transfer mode switching device; transmitting responses to said connection request message including information concerning said calling subscriber and said remaining subscribers, and transmitting connection request messages to other subscribers, by using information from each of said other n-1 called subscribers; in said asynchronous transfer mode switching device, recognizing said connection request message sent to said other subscribers, and transmitting messages to said other subscribers; setting a connection to said called subscriber when said asynchronous transfer mode switching device recognizes response messages from said other subscribers; in said transfer mode switching device, defining only one downstream connection from said calling subscriber, copying cells on said connection, and transmitting a result to said other n-1 called subscribers, and setting bidirectional connections to said other n-1 called subscribers, other than said calling subscriber, when said response message relative to said connection request message form said calling subscriber.

4. A method for forming multiple bidirectional connections for use in an asynchronous transfer mode switching device comprising the steps of:
-
in said asynchronous transfer mode switching device, recognizing a connection request message, from one calling subscriber, including information concerning n-1 other called subscribers, and upon receipt of said connection request message, transmitting received messages at once or sequentially to said n-1 called subscribers;
returning a response message and also transmitting to said switching device a request message for connections between a pertinent subscriber and all the remaining subscribers form each of said n-1 subscribers who have received said received messages; andin said asynchronous transfer mode switching device, receiving said request message for connection between said subscribers and transmitting a reception message to said subscribers who are to be interconnected with said pertinent subscriber, transmitting a response message to said pertinent subscriber when said asynchronous transfer mode switching device recognizes responses relative to said message received by said subscribers, and defining only one downstream connection from said subscribers, copying cells on said downstream connection, and transmitting a result said n-1 subscribers to establish bidirectional connections with said n-1 subscribers other than said calling subscriber.
