That would be the Bang/Crunch model, which has been tossed out for about ten years or so if I remember corectly...
Yes, the Bang/Crunch hypothesis has been dead for about a decade, and the final nail was the discovery that the expansion can't be reversed.
However, ekpyrotic has introduced a variant that really would have a continuous round of annihilations/new Bangs as membranes in higher dimensions collided and then pulled apart, only to come together and collide again.
