Management of received internet protocol packet bundling for real time services

A circuit configuration for managing packet bundling, said circuit configuration comprising:

• a sensing circuit configured to determine that a real-time critical service is operating on a mobile device;
• a logic circuit configured to identify a quality of the real-time critical service;
• a protocol stack management circuit configured to determine a maximum delay for delivery of data packets from a first layer of a protocol stack to a second layer of the protocol stack based on the quality of the real-time critical service;
• receive the data packets in the first layer of the protocol stack during a period equaling the maximum delay for delivery;
• if the real-time critical service is operating and the quality of the real-time critical service is beneath a predetermined threshold, to disable data packet bundling, and
• deliver the data packets from the first layer of a protocol stack to the second layer of the protocol stack;
• wherein the quality of the real-time critical service is an error rate or a bit rate of the real-time critical service;
• and
• wherein the delivered one or more data packets are not bundled.
