System and methods for providing multiple voice over IP service modes to a wireless device in a wireless network

摘要

Systems and methods are described for providing multiple voice service modes to a wireless device using data packet transmission through a wireless network. Application requirements including a signal level threshold for a wireless device may be determined. Signal level information for the wireless device may be received and transmitted among various network nodes. The received signal level may be compared with the signal level threshold for the wireless device. The wireless device and the access node may communicate wirelessly to provide voice services to the wireless device application. Data transmission may be converted between a first mode and a second mode depending upon a relative position of the received signal level with respect to the signal level threshold. The second mode of data transmission may be used where the first mode of data transmission cannot because the second mode may consume less network resources.

1. A method for providing multiple voice over internet protocol (VoIP) service modes to a wireless device in a wireless network, the method comprising:
determining application requirements including a signal level threshold for the wireless device in wireless communication with an access node in the wireless network, the signal level threshold being based on a bit rate required by an application on the wireless device to operate in a first mode of data transmission; receiving signal level information for signals transmitted between the access node and the wireless device; comparing the received signal level information for the wireless device with the determined signal level threshold; transmitting data between the wireless device and the access node using the first mode of data transmission when the received signal level exceeds the determined signal level threshold or a second mode of data transmission when the received signal level is equal to or less than the determined signal level threshold; and converting data transmission between the first mode of data transmission and the second mode of data transmission when the received signal level changes position with respect to the determined signal level threshold for the wireless device, wherein the first mode of data transmission is a voice packet transmission and the second mode of data transmission is a text data packet transmission.
