    Quality of Service (QoS) for the ear-to-ear wireless Synchronization/exchange of low data rate ear-to-ear signals Similar QoS as with remote controls in typical households. In typical environment it can happen that electromagnetic noise from appliances (light switch, car ignition) lead to non-valid data.
  • Page 48 Exchange of high data rate ear-to-ear signals (microphone signal) Parameter for QoS is the bit error (BER) of the gross data link. This parameter is e imated and monitored during data receive. For BER > 3.5% the channel coding will become less e ective thus the transferred microphone signal is automatically muted and not used until the QoS is good enough again.
