Abstract:
A change in user interest level of a user application of a client device in communication with a network infrastructure at a first quality of service level is assessed (306). In response, the quality of service associated with the user application is dynamically changed (308) to a second quality of service level, while keeping the user application active, based, at least in part, on the change in user interest level of the user application.
Abstract:
A method for managing a communication session between a first communication device and a second device in a communication network (100) is disclosed. The communication session is conveyed between a service-provider server and the first communication device via a first communication link. The method at the first communication device includes requesting (204) a third communication device to be associated with the communication session. The first communication device requests the third communication device, via a second communication link. The second communication link is substantially transparent to the service-provider server. The method also includes determining (206) whether the third communication device can be associated with the communication session. Further, the method includes requesting (208) the service-provider server to associate the communication session with the third communication device when the third communication session can be associated with the communication session, via a third communication link.
Abstract:
Upon receiving (101) a vocoded voice frame and detecting (102) that the received vocoded voice frame comprises an erased frame, one automatically replaces (103) the erased frame with a valid frame having at least one error condition. In a preferred approach this error condition is one that is known to cause a receiving target platform to invoke a corresponding erasure process with respect to the valid frame when received.
