Matched Legal Cases: ['application No. 60', 'Application No. 02709657', 'application No. 06813571', 'Application No. 02', 'Application No. 02808634', 'Application No. 02808634']

This application claims the benefit of a U.S. provisional patent application No. 60/759,596 entitled, �Methods, Systems, and Computer Program Products for Providing Transcoder Free Operation (TrFO) and Interworking Between Unlicensed Mobile Access (UMA) and Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) Call Legs Using A Media Gateway�, filed Jan. 17, 2006; the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
In voice communications networks, such as voice over IP networks, transcoding refers to converting from one type of voice compression to another. Transcoding is necessary when different legs of a call have incompatible coder/decoders (codecs); however, when the different legs of a call use compatible codecs, it is desirable to establish a transcoding free connection. Establishing a transcoding free connection is desirable because transcoding introduces delay and degrades voice quality. The terms �transcoder free� and �transcoding free� are used interchangeably herein to refer to the absence of transcoding in a connection.
