Patent ID: 8284761

Claim:
A system for implementing responsive loss compensation in a voice over internet protocol (IP) communication network, the system comprising: an initiating terminal having a first known loss characteristic, and adapted to transmit a first Session Description Protocol (SDP) via said IP communication network wherein the first SDP includes at least one indicia of the first known loss characteristic; a receiving terminal having a second known loss characteristic, and adapted to transmit a second SDP via said IP communication network wherein the second SDP includes at least one indicia of the second known loss characteristic; a first dynamic loss processor associated with the receiving terminal and adapted to receive the first SDP from the initiating terminal and adjust receiving terminal loss compensation as a function of the at least one indicia of the first known loss characteristic and the second known loss characteristic; a second dynamic loss processor associated with the initiating terminal and adapted to receive the second SDP from the receiving terminal and adjust initiating terminal loss compensation as a function of the at least one indicia of the second known loss characteristic and the first known loss characteristic; and wherein the first known loss characteristic comprises a first audio power loss compensation value associated with a first terminal type specified for the initiating terminal, and the second known loss characteristic comprises a second audio power loss compensation value associated with a second terminal type specified for the receiving terminal.
