US 2017/0374597 A1 · WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM TO OPTIMIZE DEVICE PERFORMANCE ACROSS WIRELESS COMMUNICATION NETWORKS

Abstract

A communication system facilitates a voice communication session for a wireless communication device. A Long Term Evolution (LTE) network exchanges Voice over LTE (VoLTE) communications with the wireless communication device for the voice communication session and determines LTE packet loss metrics for the voice communication session. The LTE network transfers the voice communication session to a Wireless Fidelity (WIFI) network. The WIFI network exchanges Voice over WIFI (VoWIFI) communications with the wireless communication device for the voice communication session and determines WIFI packet loss metrics for the voice communication session. A network controller compares the LTE packet loss metrics with the WIFI packet loss metrics to determine a packet loss configuration for the WIFI network. The network controller transfers a packet loss instruction to the WIFI network. The WIFI network receives the packet loss instruction and responsively implements the packet loss configuration on the voice communication session.
