ABSTRACT:
A method and system for increasing the efficiency of providing bandwidth for voice traffic to a data provider via wireless communication mediums is provided. This is generally accomplished by not transmitting any data during the silence periods and playing out background noise (i.e., comfort noise) at the other end, to obtain significant bandwidth savings.
