METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR A SHARED ANTENNA CONTROL USING THE OUTPUT OF A VOICE ACTIVITY DETECTOR

摘要

Aspects of a method and system for a shared antenna control using the output of a voice activity detector are provided. A single radio chip for use within a wireless device may handle communication of a Bluetooth (BT) and a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) protocol via a single antenna. Simultaneous reception via BT and WLAN channels may be enabled. The single radio chip may enable detection of voice activity in the BT channel and may reduce the BT transmission priority level some time after the voice activity indicates that the BT channel is not transmitting voice information to enable error concealment. Voice activity detection may be based on PCM samples in the BT channel. The single radio chip may transmit an ACK signal to an access point after the BT transmission priority level is reduced.
