A wireless communication method and protocol for wireless RF transmission of audio data from a plurality of wireless RF devices (portable parts PP) to a wireless RF receiver device (fixed part FP) using a full slot DECT protocol. The FP broadcasts in each frame, a multiplex of control information to the plurality of PPs. The PPs receive the multiplex of control information, and extract control information intended for each individual PP from the multiplex of control information. Preferably, the PPs are synchronized to transmit audio data in respective time slots covering both time slots in first and second half of the frame. This allows a high number of PPs to be connected to one FP still at a high audio quality with low latency, since both the normal uplink and downlink parts of the DECT frame are used for audio data transmission. This allows the method to be used for a conference call system of a high number of wireless microphone devices, or a live performance wireless microphone and / or musical instrument sound system or the like.

The invention provides a call method, terminal equipment, a readable storage medium and a chip system, and is applied to the technical field of communication. The method comprises the following steps: the terminal equipment identifies a network environment in which a current call is located; the operation duration of the silence suppression timer is dynamically adjusted when a user enters a specific scene, for example, the operation duration of the silence suppression timer is prolonged when the user enters scenes with poor network environments such as high-speed rails, subways, elevators, caves and tunnels; and then detecting whether a data packet from the opposite-end equipment or the network is received based on the silence suppression timer after the operation duration is adjusted. Compared with the prior art that the call is actively hung up too early when entering a specific scene, the method provided by the embodiment of the invention can avoid call drop caused by the fact that the call is actively hung up too early due to timeout of the timer in the specific scene, so that the call drop rate in the specific scene is reduced. In addition, the method can also be applied to a scene in which the terminal joins or is joined in the conference call.
