Abstract
In a mobile communication system (400) where a handover results in a momentary interruption of a signal between the mobile communication device (402) and the fixed network equipment(404, 410), the effect of muted portion (306) of the signal can be reduced by storing a segment (308) of the signal that is received just prior to the occurrence of the handover, and re-using the stored segment by attenuating the segment, playing the segment, and repeating the attenuating and playing (208, 210) until the handover is complete.
