METHOD/SYSTEM FOR CONSERVING RESOURCES DURING CONVERSATION OVER WIRELESS NETWORK TRANSPORT MEDIA

摘要

A method and system are provided for conserving network resources such as battery power of a battery-powered communication device used to support a conversation over a wireless network transport media. Periods of silence are detected during conversation taking place on a network having controllable resources such as battery power. Using the periods of silence so-detected, future silence periods occurring on the network are then predicted. Allocation of at least a portion of the controllable resources is controlled based on the future silence periods so-predicted.
