A wireless local area network (WLAN) transceiving integrated circuit
services voice communications in a WLAN with at least one other WLAN
device. The WLAN transceiving integrated circuit includes a WLAN
interface, an input buffer, a transcoder, and a processor. The WLAN
interface wirelessly communicates with the at least one WLAN device to
receive packetized audio data from the at least one WLAN device. The
input buffer operably couples to the WLAN interface and receives the
packetized audio data from the WLAN interface. The transcoder operably
couples to the input buffer and receives the packetized audio data from
the input buffer. The transcoder converts the packetized audio data to
Pulse Code Modulated (PCM) audio data and outputs the PCM audio data to a
coupled audio COder/DECoder (CODEC). The processor operably couples to
the WLAN interface, the input buffer, and the transcoder. The transcoder
outputs the PCM audio data to the audio CODEC such that the PCM audio
data is substantially temporally aligned with Radio Frequency (RF) slots
of the WLAN interface.
