Abstract:
1. A method for reducing bandwidth when transmitting data between a sending terminal and a receiving terminal over a voice connection path using a digital data network, the method comprising: converting, within the digital data network, a coding of user information of the transmitted data between a data transmission in the voice connection path and a data transmission in the digital data network so as to transmit the user information via the coded voice connection path on at least one first section of the digital data network and transmit the user information by a method suitable for the digital data network on at least one second section of the digital data network; and temporarily storing and converting the transmitted data and signaling information so as to match the respective data transmission processes of the sending and receiving terminals such that differences in the respective data transmission processes are not perceived by the sending and receiving terminals, wherein the sending and receiving terminals use different respective data transmission processes.
