Abstract
The invention relates to a method for selecting a codec for transmission of audio and/or video data between terminals (1, 3) through a packet switching connection (2), the terminals (1, 3) selecting the codec from a codec list, characterized in that the codec list for a new connection is determined by means of a table in which for at least one destination address range, the associated transmission capacity is indicated and the table is automatically updated through measurements, as well as a terminal for carrying out the method.
Claims21
Method for selecting a codec for transmission of audio and/or video data between terminals through a packet-switching connection, the terminals selecting the codec from a codec list, comprising:
- determining a codec list for a new packet-switched connection between terminals using a table in which for at least one destination address range, the associated transmission capacity is indicated;
- and
- automatically updating the table through transmission capacity measurements.
A terminal, comprising:
- a memory comprising a table in which, for at least one destination address range, the associated transmission capacity is indicated;
- and
- a module operable to use the table to determine a codec list for a new packet-switched connection between the terminal and another terminal;
- and automatically update the table through transmission capacity measurements.
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
