<p>On the receiving side the symmetric operations are performed when phone rings are detected.</p>
- <p>This is basically a <em>Pulse-Distance Modulation</em> (PDM), this scheme has been chosen because it's easy to detect when a phone starts ringing, but it's not always easy to detect for how log it rings, or how many rings there are in a single call.</p>
