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.
