摘要:<p>Disclosed is a wireless communication device (102) and method for ringback control, the device (102) capable of receiving an incoming call (414), the device (102) having a timing circuit (110) configured to determine a delay (204) for a predetermined period of time for ringtone generation at a calling party device (104). A device (104) with a single transducer (114) may increase the volume of a ringtone or other alerts. The delay (122) may correspond to the increased volume. In one embodiment, the delay (322) of the ringtone generation at the calling party is provided by delaying the transmission (324) of the acknowledgment alerting signal by the wireless communication device (302) until after the predetermined period of the delay. In another embodiment, the alerting signal includes a delay parameter (430) so that the wireless infrastructure delays signaling a ringtone to the calling party device (404). In another embodiment, the alerting signal includes a delay parameter (536) so that the calling party device (504) delays the activation of a ringtone (540).</p>
