DYNAMICAL ADAPTATION OF DATA ENCODING DEPENDENT ON CPU LOAD

摘要

Method, user terminal (104), communication system (100) and computer program product for processing audio data for transmission over a network (106) in a communication session between the user terminal (104) and a further user terminal (114). Samples of audio data which have a sampling frequency and which provide a digital representation of an analogue audio signal are transmitted to the further user terminal (114) in the communication session. During the communication session, an estimate of processing resources available for processing audio data in the communication session is repeatedly determined (S604), and the sampling frequency is dynamically adjusted during the communication session based on the determined estimate of available processing resources (S606).
