Abstract
To address the need for reducing audio overhang in wireless communication systems (e.g.,), the present invention provides for the deletion of silent frames before they are converted to audio by the listening devices. The present invention only provides for the deletion of a portion of the silent frames that make up a period of silence or low voice activity in the speaker's audio. Voice frames that make up periods of silence less than a given length of time are not deleted.
