Advanced packet-based sample audio concealment

1. An audio system comprising:

a first speaker to play audio from a first channel;

a second speaker to play audio from a second channel;

a transmitter for sending audio information to the first speaker and the second speaker, the audio information including packets for the first channel and the second channel,

wherein the first speaker is to:

determine a first correlation factor between first channel and a second channel,

determine if a first packet for the first channel is a lost packet, and

if a first packet for the first channel is a lost packet, applying a concealment scheme,

wherein if the first correlation factor is above a threshold, the concealment scheme applies a second packet for the second channel to the first packet of the first channel, and

wherein if the first correlation factor is below the threshold, the concealment scheme applies a third packet to the first packet of the first channel, wherein the third packet is derived from a fourth packet and a fifth packet for the first channel, the fourth and fifth packets separated in time from the lost packet.

2. The audio system of claim 1 , wherein the first speaker determines the first correlation factor to be applied for packets that are lost for the first channel, and wherein the second speaker determines a second correlation factor to be applied for packets that are lost for the second channel.

3. The audio system of claim 1 , wherein the first correlation factor is communicated to the first speaker and the second speaker by the transmitter.

4. The audio system of claim 1 further comprising a third speaker to play audio from a third channel, and wherein the audio information further includes packets for the third channel.

5. The audio system of claim 4 , wherein the third speaker determines a third correlation factor for the first channel and the third channel.

6. The audio system of claim 5 , wherein the third correlation factor is different from the first correlation factor.
