<p>A radio access network (104) is informed as to the type of communication between a communication unit (102) and a network-based client (110), i.e., end points to the communication. Based on this information, the radio access network optimizes (206) a wireless interface between the radio access network and the communication unit. Either end point of a communication may inform the radio access network of the communication type. In one embodiment, the communication type comprises information regarding a source encoder to be used during the communication. In another embodiment, optimization of the wireless interface may be achieved through the selection of an optimal error correction scheme or through the compression and decompression of headers associated with a plurality of packet switched portions constituting the communication.</p> |
