Abstract:
In various embodiments, a corpus of codecs may be correlated with different, partially overlapping ranges of transmission characteristics. As channel conditions degrade or improve, the system may select a new codec with which to continue the connection based upon the corresponding overlapping range. Codecs may not be switched immediately when the transmission characteristics enter overlapping ranges, to avoid degrading the user's experience. If the characteristics remain in the overlap, or manifest a likely progression toward another region, then the transition may be effected.

Claim (Index 1):
A computer-implemented method, comprising:\n establishing a communication session from a first communication node to a second communication node, wherein the first communication node and the second communication node are communicatively connected to each other over a communication network; transmitting media content from the first communication node to the second communication node, wherein the first media content is encoded using a first media codec technology; monitoring, during the communication session, an operational condition of the communication network; deciding to switch, when the operational condition of the communication network meets a first condition, the first media codec technology to a second media codec technology; switching, after deciding to switch, transmission of the media content of the communication session to use the second media codec technology; upon detecting a change from the first condition to a second condition, continuing transmission of the media content of the communication session using the second media codec technology for a time period; adapting, until termination of the time period, one or more encoding parameters associated with the second media codec technology; deciding to switch, when the operational condition of the communication network meets a third condition, the second media codec technology to the first media codec technology; and switching, after deciding to switch, transmission of the media content of the communication session to use the first media codec technology.
