1. A method for controlling the transmission of a sampled voice signal over a Bluetooth®
- radio link, the method comprising the steps of;
a) monitoring, by a monitoring unit of a controller, the sampled voice signal;
b) detecting, by a detection unit of the controller, whether the sampled voice signal comprises a number of consecutive silence samples and detecting the number of consecutive silence samples, wherein the number of consecutive silence samples is dynamically determined to automatically change a threshold value representing a minimum number of silence samples to be detected before halting the transmission of the sampled voice signal over the Bluetooth®
radio link and wherein the threshold value is dynamically determined based on a voice signal volume; and
c) halting, by a protocol handler of the controller, the transmission of the sampled voice signal over the Bluetooth®
radio link after having transmitted said consecutive silence samples, wherein a codec of a transmitter is emptied before halting the transmission.

Abstract
It is proposed a method for controlling the transmission of a sampled voice signal over a Bluetooth® radio link. The method comprises the steps of:
- a) monitoring the sampled voice signal for detecting whether the sampled voice signal comprises a number of consecutive silence samples; and
- b) halting the transmission of the sampled voice signal over the Bluetooth® radio link after having transmitted said consecutive silence samples.

- radio link, the controller comprising;
a monitoring unit adapted to monitor the sampled voice signal; a detection unit adapted to detect whether the sampled voice signal comprises a number of consecutive silence samples and to detect the number of consecutive silence samples, wherein the number of consecutive silence samples is dynamically determined to automatically change a threshold value representing a minimum number of silence samples to be detected before halting the transmission of the sampled voice signal over the Bluetooth®
radio link and wherein the threshold value is dynamically determined based on a voice signal volume; anda protocol handler adapted to halt the transmission of the sampled voice signal over the Bluetooth®
radio link after having transmitted said consecutive silence samples, wherein a codec of a transmitter is emptied before the transmission is halted. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
