Abstract
A method performed by a first network node serving a first terminal when handling a call between the first terminal and a second terminal is provided. The first network node determines that the call is associated with longer than expected delays between the first and second terminals. The network node provides a Long Delay Indication to at least one of said first and second terminals to indicate said longer than expected delays in the call.
Claims16
A method performed by a first network node serving a first terminal when handling a call between the first terminal and a second terminal, the method comprising:
- determining that the call is associated with longer than expected delays between the first and second terminals, and
- providing a Long Delay Indication to at least one of said first and second terminals to indicate said longer than expected delays in the call, wherein this providing step comprises:
- determining whether or not the at least one of said first and second terminals is capable of interpreting a first Long Delay Indication,
- when determining that the at least one of said first and second terminals is capable of interpreting the first Long Delay Indication, providing to the at least one of said first and second terminals, the first Long Delay Indication, and
- when determining that the at least one of said first and second terminals is unable to interpret the first Long Delay Indication, providing to the at least one of said first and second terminals, a second Long Delay Indication, wherein the second Long Delay Indication is a media content provided to the at least one of said first and second terminals.
A method performed by a first terminal when handling a call between the first terminal and a second terminal, the method comprising:
- receiving a Long Delay Indication indicating longer than expected delays between the first and second terminals, wherein:
- when the first terminal is capable of interpreting a first Long Delay Indication, receiving a first Long Delay Indication, and
- when the first terminal is unable to interpret the first Long Delay Indication, receiving a second Long Delay Indication, wherein the second Long Delay Indication is a media content received by the first terminal;
- and
- adapting the first terminal to said longer than expected delays based on the Long Delay Indication.
A first network node configured to serve a first terminal and to handle a call between the first terminal and a second terminal, the first network node further being configured to:
- determine that the call is associated with longer than expected delays between the first and second terminals, and
- provide a Long Delay Indication to at least one of said first and second terminals to indicate said longer than expected delays in the call, wherein the Long Delay Indication is provided by:
- determining whether or not the at least one of said first and second terminals is capable of interpreting a first Long Delay Indication,
- when determining that the at least one of said first and second terminals is capable of interpreting the first Long Delay Indication, providing to the at least one of said first and second terminals, the first Long Delay Indication, and
- when determining that the at least one of said first and second terminals is unable to interpret the first Long Delay Indication, providing to the at least one of said first and second terminals, a second Long Delay Indication, wherein the second Long Delay Indication is adapted to be a media content provided to the at least one of said first and second terminals.
A first terminal configured to handle a call between the first terminal and a second terminal, the first terminal further being configured:
- receive a Long Delay Indication indicating longer than expected delays between the first and second terminals, wherein:
- when the first terminal is capable of interpreting a first Long Delay Indication, the first terminal is configured to receive a first Long Delay Indication, and
- when the first terminal is unable to interpret the first Long Delay Indication, the first terminal is configured to receive a second Long Delay Indication, wherein the second Long Delay Indication is a media content;
- and
- adapt the first terminal to said longer than expected delays based on the Long Delay Indication.
