Abstract

A reproduction-receiver part is provided for use in a headset system, wherein parts are provided for wireless reception of audio signals from a mobile radio telephone network and a loudspeaker for acoustic reproduction of the signals.

Claims

1. A system for a radio headset, comprising:

an acceptance-and-send part having a first antenna and first voltage supply and a microphone, wherein said antenna executes wireless transmission of audio signals recorded by said microphone over a downlink on a mobile radio network; and

a reproduction-and-receive part that is physically separated from the acceptance-and-send part, said reproduction-and-receive part comprising a second antenna, a second power supply, and a loudspeaker, wherein the reproduction-and-receive part receives and plays back the audio signals from the downlink via said loudspeaker.

2. The system according to claim 1, wherein the reproduction-and-receive part receives handshake signals from a radio base station in connection with the audio signal, wherein a audible notification is received independent of the audio signal.

3. A system for a radio headset, comprising:

an acceptance-and-send part having a first antenna and first voltage supply and a microphone, wherein said antenna receives audio signals having an audio data stream and a connection signal from a mobile radio network via downlink, and transmits said audio signals over a short-range air interface; and

a reproduction-and-receive part that is physically separated from the acceptance-and-send part, said reproduction-and-receive part comprising a second antenna, a second power supply, and a loudspeaker, wherein the reproduction-and-receive part receives and plays back the audio signals from the short-range interface via said loudspeaker.

4. The system according to claim 3, wherein the acceptance-and-send part receives handshake signals from a radio base station in the mobile radio network in connection with the audio signal, wherein a audible notification is inserted into the audio data stream.
