Abstract
The present disclosure is directed towards a method for discontinuous transmission ('DTX') bandwidth reduction. The method may include receiving, at a processor, a frame identified as speech and determining that the frame was mistakenly identified as speech based upon, at least in part, a voice activity detection algorithm. The method may further include labeling the frame as a silence indicator frame.
