Abstract:
1. A method of servicing real-time communications to a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) terminal, comprising: receiving incoming and outgoing user communications at a user interface of a WLAN terminal; selecting an initial coding scheme from a plurality of supported coding schemes with a programmable COder/DECoder (CODEC), each of the plurality of supported coding schemes being associated with a different one of a plurality of codec protocols; converting incoming user communications from packetized communications and outgoing user communications to packetized communications according to the selected coding scheme; exchanging packetized communications between a servicing Access Point (AP) of the WLAN and the WLAN terminal at a communication quality level; measuring the communication quality level of an uplink path from the WLAN terminal to the AP, the communication quality level being based on latency of the outgoing user communications received at the AP; and revising the selected coding scheme for both the incoming user communications and the outgoing user communications from the plurality of supported coding schemes based upon only the communication quality level of the uplink path.
