Voice optimization in a network having voice over internet protocol communication devices

摘要

An apparatus and a method of optimizing voice quality on a network having end-points that are voice over Internet Protocol (IP) devices. Default parameters of the end-points are initialized. Network performance parameters are measured and evaluated to determine whether they signify that connection to the network is below a desired level of operation. If so, the default parameters of the end-points are re-set based on the evaluation. The adjustment may entail re-negotiating the CODEC connection and re-setting parameters for packet size and resetting parameters for jitter buffer size.

1. A method of setting up a voice communication session in a packet switched network, the method comprising:
initializing an end-point device on a network, wherein the initializing comprises setting at least one initial parameter affecting packetized voice operation of the end-point device and performing at least one test to determine a configuration for the end-point device associated with a desired level of performance of the network measured at the end-point device; measuring at least one performance parameter of the network external to the end-point device; and evaluating whether the measured performance parameter indicates that a connection to the network is below the desired level of performance and, if so, transmitting an indication that the connection to the network is below the desired level of performance.
