Patent ID: 8804773

Claim:
A method for managing an ideal depth parameter of a de-jitter buffer comprising: classifying, via a controller, an incoming call into a category of a type of incoming call, wherein the category of the type of incoming call includes one of: a conversational voice call and a non-conversational voice call; and determining, via the controller, an initial depth parameter, a rate of change parameter for changing the initial depth parameter, and a threshold depth parameter for the de-jitter buffer based upon the classifying of the incoming call, wherein the initial depth parameter, the rate of change parameter and the threshold depth parameter are assigned a first set of values when the category of the type of incoming call is classified as the conversational voice call and are assigned a second set of values when the category of the type of incoming call is classified as the non-conversational voice call, and wherein the initial depth parameter, the rate of change parameter and the threshold depth parameter are controlling parameters of the ideal depth parameter.
