Abstract
In an embodiment of the invention, a communication device comprises a jitter buffer configured to buffer communications, a processing system configured to determine a utilization metric based on a percentage used of the jitter buffer and process the utilization metric to determine a usage state of the jitter buffer, and an interface configured to transmit a state message indicating the usage state of the jitter buffer.
Claims15
A method of operating a communication system with a first communication device having a first jitter buffer, the method comprising:
- exchanging communications between the first communication device and a second communication device having a second jitter buffer;
- buffering communications in the first jitter buffer;
- determining a utilization metric based on a percentage used of the first jitter buffer;
- processing the utilization metric to determine a usage state of the first jitter buffer;
- and
- transmitting a state message indicating the usage state of the first jitter buffer to adjust the size of the second jitter buffer to a call processing system that resides in a service provider network.
