A method of processing sampled voice packets from a voice packet sender for transmission over a bit-rate sampled data transmission system, such as by a cable modem over a cable modem termination system, to a voice packet recipient. Unsolicited grant arrivals in response to a request from the voice packet sender coupled to the cable modem are determined. The storing of sampled voice packets is synchronized with the unsolicited grant arrivals. Upon receipt of an unsolicited grant arrival, currently stored sampled voice packets are transmitted to the cable modem for further transmission to the voice packet recipient over the cable modem termination system. The synchronization includes determining time needed between adjacent unsolicited grant arrivals for storing the sampled voice packets and for processing stored sampled voice packets, sampling voice packets by clocking voice packet sampling using a clock derived from a cable modem clock, and scheduling processing of the stored sample voice packets to be ready for transmission at a next unsolicited grant arrival. The time needed for determination involves counting time between unsolicited grant arrivals and upon reaching a count indicative of the interval between unsolicited grant arrivals, providing for transmission of the currently stored sampled voice packets at the next unsolicited grant arrival. |
