Rate control for a communication

摘要

Methods and systems for communicating with rate control. A communication is sent and received from a first device to a second device over a network, wherein the communication comprises at least one audio stream and a second communication stream. A capacity of the network is probed at the first device for the sending and receiving the communication. A presence of a voice in the at least one audio stream is detected at the first device via a voice activity detection of the at least one audio stream. A rate limit is set for the sending and receiving the communication at the first device based on the capacity of the network and the detection of the presence of the at least one audio stream.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method for communicating, said computer-implemented method comprising:
sending and receiving a communication from a first device to a second device over a network, wherein said communication comprises at least one audio stream and a second communication stream; probing a capacity of said network at said first device for said sending and receiving said communication; detecting a presence of a voice in said at least one audio stream at said first device via a voice activity detection; and setting a rate limit for said sending and receiving said communication at said first device such that said rate limit is below a lowest measured capacity of said capacity of said network and based on said detecting said presence of said voice in said at least one audio stream.
