Abstract

Signal processing solutions take advantage of microphones located on different devices and improve the quality of transmitted voice signals in a communication system. With usage of various devices such as Bluetooth headsets, wired headsets and the like in conjunction with mobile handsets, multiple microphones located on different devices are exploited for improving performance and/or voice quality in a communication system. Audio signals are recorded by microphones on different devices and processed to produce various benefits, such as improved voice quality, background noise reduction, voice activity detection and the like.
