A METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CONDUCTING A GROUP CALL

摘要

A method and system for conducting a group call between a source electronic device (116) and a plurality of destination electronic devices is disclosed. A packet characterized by a first coding technique and destined towards the plurality of destination electronic devices is received. The packet is processed to identify if at least one of the plurality destination electronic devices uses the first coding technique. The packet is then multiplied to form a plurality of packets. The plurality of packets is sent to the plurality of destination electronic devices using the first coding technique. Further, in case at least one of the plurality of destination devices uses a second coding technique, the packet is transcoded to the second coding technique. The transcoded packet is multiplied to form a plurality of transcoded packets. The plurality of transcoded packets are sent to the plurality of destination electronic devices using the second coding technique.
