Abstract
Methods and systems for indicating an audio forwarding failure at a Radio-over-Internet-Protocol (RoIP) gateway device of a RoIP system is disclosed. In one step, audio communication is detected from a radio handset communicatively coupled with the RoIP gateway device and is buffered. When an error in forwarding the audio communication to at least a portion of devices connected to the RoIP system, an audio notification indicative of the error is sent to the radio handset after determining the audio communication from the radio handset has ended.
Claims15
A method of indicating an audio forwarding failure at a Radio-over-Internet-Protocol (RoIP) gateway device of a RoIP system, the method comprising:
- detecting audio communication from a radio handset communicatively coupled with the RoIP gateway device;
- responsive to the detecting, buffering at least a portion of the audio communication wherein the buffering has a time limit;
- determining an error in forwarding the audio communication to at least a portion of devices connected to the RoIP system where audio forwarding conditions are not met, wherein the error determination continues up to the time limit of the buffering;
- and
- sending an audio notification indicative of the error to the radio handset after determining the audio communication from the radio handset has ended, wherein:
- the audio notification corresponds to a carrier operated relay (COR) signal,
- the audio notification is transmitted when a valid audio communication is detected from the radio handset, and
- a type of the audio notification is further indicative of an error type of the error in forwarding the audio communication.
A RoIP system for indicating an audio forwarding failure at a Radio-over-Internet-Protocol (RoIP) gateway device, the RoIP system comprising:
- a radio handset;
- the RoIP gateway device, wherein the RoIP gateway device:
- detects audio communication from the radio handset communicatively coupled with the RoIP gateway device,
- buffers at least a portion of the audio communication upon the detection of audio communication, wherein the buffering has a time limit;
- determines an error in forwarding the audio communication to at least a portion of devices connected to the RoIP system where audio forwarding conditions are not met, wherein the error determination continues up to the time limit of the buffering;
- and
- sends an audio notification indicative of the error to the radio handset after determining the audio communication from the radio handset has ended, wherein:
- the audio notification corresponds to a carrier operated relay (COR) signal,
- the audio notification is transmitted when a valid audio communication is detected from the radio handset, and
- a type of the audio notification is further indicative of an error type of the error in forwarding the audio communication.
A RoIP system for indicating an audio forwarding failure at a Radio-over-Internet-Protocol (RoIP) gateway device, the RoIP system comprising one or more processors and one or more memories with code for:
- detecting audio communication from a radio handset communicatively coupled with the RoIP gateway device;
- responsive to the detecting, buffering at least a portion of the audio communication wherein the buffering has a time limit;
- determining an error in forwarding the audio communication to at least a portion of devices connected to the RoIP system where audio forwarding conditions are not met, wherein the error determination continues up to the time limit of the buffering;
- and
- sending an audio notification indicative of the error to the radio handset after determining the audio communication from the radio handset has ended, wherein:
- the audio notification corresponds to a carrier operated relay (COR) signal,
- the audio notification is transmitted when a valid audio communication is detected from the radio handset, and
- a type of the audio notification is further indicative of an error type of the error in forwarding the audio communication.
