More particularly, the invention is made to track the activity of a voice assigned connection (e.g. a PBX or PABX entry to the network), define a so-called activity bit for each block of audio channel signal and then dynamically adjust the assigned network communication bandwidth accordingly. Adjustment of the communication bandwidth is accomplished by integrating the audio channel activity bits through a predefined integration function, the result of which is then compared against predefined threshold values in order to determine an appropriate bandwidth setting for the audio channel.Field of SearchCHANNEL ASSIGNMENT TECHNIQUESOnly active channels transmitted TASI (Time Assignment Speech Interpolation) Adaptive selection of channel assignment technique Combining or distributing information via time channels using multiple access technique (e.g., TDMA) Using time slots Adaptive Assignment of variable bandwidth or time period for transmission or reception Transmission bandwidth conservation | |
