Estimating the term…
A wireless local area network (WLAN) transceiving integrated circuit services voice communications in a WLAN with at least one other wireless device and includes a WLAN interface, a transcoder, and a switch box. The WLAN interface wirelessly communicates with at least one wireless device to receive inbound packetized audio data from the at least one wireless device and to transmit outbound packetized audio data to the at least one wireless device. The transcoder receives the inbound packetized audio data and converts the inbound packetized audio data to inbound Pulse Code Modulated (PCM) WLAN audio data. The WLAN interface also receives outbound PCM WLAN audio data and converts the outbound PCM WLAN audio data to the outbound packetized audio data. The switch box operably couples between the transcoder and a PCM bus, to which an audio COder/DECoder (CODEC) couples. A speaker and a microphone coupled to the audio CODEC. The switch box enables the wireless transceiving integrated circuit to perform call conferencing operations, call forwarding operations, call hold operations, call muting operations, and call waiting operations.
An integrated circuit comprising:
The integrated circuit 1, wherein the processing circuitry is further operable to convert the inbound audio data to an analog audio signal.
The integrated circuit 1, wherein the packetized audio data is in a Bluetooth Specification data format.
The integrated circuit 1, wherein the packetized audio data is in a data format consistent one or more versions of the IEEE 802.11 standards.
The integrated circuit 1, wherein:
The integrated circuit 1, wherein in controllably combining the first inbound audio data with the second inbound audio data to produce inbound audio data, the processing circuitry is operable to support call conferencing operations.
The integrated circuit 1, wherein in controllably combining the first inbound audio data with the second inbound audio data to produce inbound audio data, the processing circuitry is operable to support call forwarding operations.
