The RDK Voice Service is a service for transmitting voice data over BLE in the RDK ecosystem. The RDK Voice Service is specifically designed to enable voice control of a BLE voice client. This document defines detailed requirements for the RDK Voice Service. It is intended to specify transmission of voice data from an RVS server to an RVS client.
Reasonable effort is made to keep references up to date with respect to versions and release dates, however manufacturers are responsible for ensuring they have the most recent version of a reference specification (unless otherwise noted). Where conflicts exist between requirements contained in this specification and normative references, the specification requirements govern.

The RDK Voice Service exposes data and associated formatting for streaming voice audio from an RDK Remote Control Device to an RDK based STB.
All capabilities indicated as mandatory for this Service shall be supported in the specified manner (process-mandatory). This also applies for all optional and conditional capabilities for which support is indicated.
This service is not dependent upon any other services.
This specification is compatible with any Bluetooth core specification as defined in [BLUETOOTH] that includes the Generic Attribute Profile (GATT) specification and the Bluetooth Low Energy Controller specification.
Requirements in this section represent a minimum set of requirements for an RDK Remote Control Device (GATT Server). Other GATT sub-procedures may be used if supported by both Client and Server.
Table below summarises additional GATT sub-procedure requirements beyond those required by all GATT Servers.
GATT Sub-Procedure | Requirement |
---|---|
Read Characteristic Value | M |
Write Characteristic Value | M |
Write Without Response | O |
Notification | M |
Read Characteristic Descriptors | M |
Write Characteristic Descriptors | M |
The service shall only operate over an LE transport.
This service does not define any application error codes that are used in Attribute Protocol.
All characteristics used with this service shall be transmitted with the least significant octet first (i.e., little endian).
