System and method for providing simulated spatial sound in a wireless communication device during group voice communication sessions

摘要

A system and method for providing simulated spatial sound in group voice communication sessions on a wireless communication device is provided. The wireless communication device is one of two or more in the system which are operatively connected to a wireless communications network. The wireless communication device comprises: a processor for controlling the operation of the wireless communication device; a communications subsystem operatively connected to the processor for communicating with the wireless communications network; a memory operatively connected to the processor; an audio input device operatively connected to the processor; a stereo audio output device operatively connected to the processor; a control module stored in the memory for execution by the processor to perform spatial sound simulation, the control module configuring the wireless communication device to: receive an audio input from a user of the wireless communication device; generate audio data packets from the audio input received from the user and transmit the audio data packets over the wireless communications network; receive spatial audio data packets; and reproduce the spatial audio data contained in the spatial audio data packets using the stereo audio output device.
