Abstract
A communication system mitigates speech loss due to a delay (D) incurred during communication channel set-up and also accounts for the delay (D). The communication system time-compresses certain speech spoken by a user and buffers this time-compressed speech in a FIFO (827) at least until the communication channel set-up has been completed. Upon channel set-up, the communication system begins transmission of the stored time-compressed speech and transitions to transmission of normal spoken speech when the FIFO (827) storing the time-compressed speech is substantially empty.
