  • Mobile communication receiver with asymmetric muting control
    Patent number: 6385440
    Abstract: A mobile communication receiver generates an audio signal from a radio signal received on a communication channel, detects conditions on the communication channel, mutes the audio signal according to a first rule when the channel conditions are bad, and un-mutes the audio signal according to a second rule when the channel conditions are good. The first rule is more stringent than the second rule; as a result, sporadic muting and choppy muting are avoided.
