Abstract: The invention relates to a computer implemented method for generation of a speech intelligibility enhancement algorithm for a wireless two-way communication system to enhance speech intelligibility in noise at both a near-end and a far-end taking into account joint near-end and far-end noise and audio inputs at the far-end from multiple microphones to capture speech and noise. First, determining (D_SI_OT) a speech intelligibility optimization target, taking into account noise at the near-end and noise at the far-end. Next, determining (D_MVDR) a Minimum Variance Distortionless Response (MVDR) beamformer with a plurality of inputs by optimizing a cost function according to the speech intelligibility optimization target to determine a global optimum. Next, determining (D_FB_G) a set of frequency band dependent gains by optimizing a cost function according to the speech intelligibility optimization target to determine a global optimum of a concave optimization formulation. Finally, generating (G_SIE_A) the speech enhancement processing algorithm as a linear processor with the determined MVDR beamformer followed by the determined set of frequency band dependent gains. In this way, a simple technical-mathematical formulation has been achieved, and the resulting speech intelligibility enhancement is similar to related but complex prior art solutions. The resulting algorithm is suited for wireless two-way communication devices, such as intercom devices to be used in noisy environments. e.g. for firefighters, rescue personnel etc.

Abstract: A method and device, e.g. a headset, for notifying a user of a mute state of a primary microphone during a call, in case the user speaks while the primary microphone is muted. The method comprises performing a noise cancellation algorithm (ENC) on output signals from the primary microphone and on output signals from an additional microphone capturing sound in the user's surroundings to suppress surrounding noise at the user location. Further processing output signals from the primary microphone according to a Voice Activity Detection (VAD) algorithm by means of a processor system while the primary microphone is muted. The VAD algorithm is used to determine if speech is present, and next it is determined if an additional condition if fulfilled. Then, finally providing a mute state notification to the user only if it is determined that speech is present and the additional condition is fulfilled.

Abstract: An apparatus for digital enhanced cordless telecommunications (DECT) on a respiratory protection mask having two or more diverse antennas is disclosed. According to one aspect, a communication module in a respiratory protection mask is configured to send and receive radio signals. The communication module includes a first antenna within the communication module and a second antenna within the communication module, the second antenna being separated from the first antenna to achieve antenna spatial diversity.

Abstract: Systems and methods for facilitating wireless intercom in a local communications network are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: generate and transmit a first broadcast packet and a second broadcast packet to a set of end-user communication devices; receive a first device-specific packet, on a first channel by a first central antenna and during a first uplink time period; receive a second device-specific packet, on the first channel by the first central antenna and during a second uplink time period; receive the first device-specific packet, on a second channel by a second central antenna and during a third uplink time period; receive the second device-specific packet, on the second channel by the second central antenna and during a fourth uplink time period; generate a third broadcast packet that includes packetized downlink information; and transmit the third broadcast packet to the set of end-user communication devices.

Abstract: A method implemented in a first wireless unit of a plurality of wireless units of a first group. The method includes determining whether a second wireless unit of the first group is configured as the master of the first group. If the second wireless unit is configured as the master of the first group, the first wireless unit is configured as a slave and the first wireless unit is joined to the first group to communicate with the other wireless units. In addition, if the second wireless unit is not configured as the master of the first group, the first wireless unit is configured as the master of the first group and one of the first group is formed and the first group joined to communicate with the other wireless units. An apparatus is also provided.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for synchronizing timing clocks in wireless communication, e.g. DECT based, between a timing master (P_l) and a timing slave (P_f). The timing master measures (MPD1) a phase offset between its internal clock and a reference clock, e.g. a network clock, e.g. IEEE 1588 over an Ethernet connection. Next, the timing master transmits (TPD1) data indicative of said measured phase offset to the timing slave or timing slaves, which also measure their phase offset between their internal clocks and the reference clock. Next, the timing slave(s) adjust (APD2) their phase offset between their respective internal clocks and the reference clock in response to the received data indicative of measured phase offset from the timing master. Thus, the timing slaves can ensure that they provides the same phase offset between their internal clocks and the reference clock as the timing master. Thus, DECT synchronization can be obtained in spite of a reference clock with a limited precision.
