Abstract
Methods for communications and of communication device involve determining a half-duplex communications mode for a communications device, and in response to determining the half-duplex communications mode for the communications device, disabling an echo canceller of the communications device and determining a time-division multiplex (TDM) communications schedule over a point-to-point communications link. In response to disabling the echo canceller and determining the TDM communications schedule over the point-to-point communications link, data transmission is conducted over the point-to-point communications link according to the TDM communications schedule without echo cancellation at the communications device. The TDM communications schedule specifies non-overlapping transmission time slots for different communications devices and a silent period for echo fade-out between consecutive transmission time slots of the non-overlapping transmission time slots.
