Abstract:
1. A method of operating a communication system having a jitter buffer, the method comprising: buffering traffic in the jitter buffer; determining a percentage used of the jitter buffer by the buffered traffic; determining if the percentage used is above a high threshold limit or below a low threshold limit that is less than the high threshold limit; if the percentage used is above the high threshold limit, then processing a size of the jitter buffer and the percentage used to increase the size of the jitter buffer, wherein the increased size of the jitter buffer places the percentage used within a predetermined percentage used range of the jitter buffer; and if the percentage used is below the low threshold limit, then processing the size of the jitter buffer and the percentage used to decrease the size of the jitter buffer, wherein the decreased size of the jitter buffer places the percentage used within the predetermined percentage used range of the jitter buffer.
