US 10,122,582 B2 · System and method for efficient bandwidth allocation for forked communication sessions

Abstract

A request for a communication session is received by a system. For example, a request to establish a voice communication session is received by the system. The system determines whether the request for the communication session is to be forked to a plurality of communication endpoints. If the communication session is to be forked, a highest bandwidth requirement for the forked communication session is determined. The determined highest bandwidth requirement for the forked communication session is based on a highest bandwidth requirement of one or more codecs that are defined in the received request for the communication session. The determined highest bandwidth requirement for the forked communication session is allocated so that the forked communication session can be established.

Dependent claims

A system comprising:

a microprocessor;
and
a computer readable medium, coupled with the microprocessor and comprising microprocessor readable and executable instructions that program the microprocessor to:
receive a request to establish a communication session;
determine that the request to establish the communication session is to be forked to a plurality of communication endpoints;
in response to determining that the communication session is to be forked to the plurality of communication endpoints, determine a highest bandwidth requirement for the forked communication session, wherein the determined highest bandwidth requirement for the forked communication session is a highest bandwidth requirement of one or more codecs that are defined in the received request to establish the communication session;
and
allocate the determined highest bandwidth requirement for the forked communication session.
