Abstract:
1. A method for use with a voice-over-IP (VoIP) connection established over a radio interface with a mobile radio station, comprising: determining a current radio condition associated with the VoIP connection; determining a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) for a portion of VoIP information to be communicated over the VoIP connection based on the determined current radio condition; selecting a VoIP voice encoding mode for a portion of the VoIP connection based at least in part on the determined modulation coding scheme, the VoIP voice encoding mode having an associated bit rate; encoding VoIP voice into a variable number of VoIP encoded frames using the selected VoIP voice encoding mode, wherein the variable number of VoIP encoded frames depends on the determined MCS; including the number of VoIP encoded frames in a VoIP packet for transport over the VoIP connection; and wherein the variable number of VoIP encoded frames is an optimal number to increase the amount of VoIP bits included in a radio block transmitted over the radio interface.
