1. A method comprising:
- initiating, by one or more servers of a push-to-talk (PTT) platform, a PTT call session in response to a PTT call session initiation request from a first client device;
receiving, by the one or more servers, a first estimated modulation and coding scheme (MCS) from the first client device, wherein the first client device communicates with the one or more servers using a radio access network (RAN), and wherein the first estimated MCS is in accordance with an estimated channel quality index (CQI) of a channel between the first client device and the RAN;
receiving, by the one or more servers, a first transmission in accordance with an initial media encoding scheme (MES) from the first client device during an initial volley; and
transmitting, by the one or more servers, instructions to the first client device to use a first MES different than the initial MES for a second transmission during a subsequent volley, wherein the subsequent volley is after the initial volley, and wherein the first MES selected is in accordance with the first estimated MCS.

Abstract
An embodiment method includes initiating, by one or more servers of a push-to-talk (PTT) platform, a PTT call session in response to a PTT call session initiation request from a first client device, receiving, by the one or more servers, a first estimated modulation and coding scheme (MCS) from the first client device, and receiving, by the one or more servers, a first transmission in accordance with an initial media encoding scheme (MES) from the first client device during an initial volley. The method further includes transmitting, by the one or more servers, instructions to the first client device to use a first MES different than the initial MES for a second transmission during a subsequent volley.

11. A telecommunications services platform comprising:
-
one or more processors; and a non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing programming for execution by the one or more processors, the programming including instructions to; initiate a call session in response to a call session initiation request from a first client device; receive a first estimated modulation and coding scheme (MCS) from the first client device, wherein the first client device communicates with the telecommunications services platform using a radio access network (RAN), and wherein the first estimated MCS is in accordance with an estimated channel quality index (COI) of a channel between the first client device and the RAN; receive a first transmission in accordance with an initial media encoding scheme (MES) from the first client device during an initial volley; and transmit instructions to the first client device use a first MES different than the initial MES for a second transmission during a subsequent volley, wherein the subsequent volley is after the initial volley, and wherein the first MES is selected in accordance with the first estimated MCS. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A method comprising:
-
initiating, by one or more servers of a push-to-talk (PTT) platform, a PTT broadcast call session in response to a PTT broadcast call session initiation request from a first client device; receiving, by the one or more servers, a first estimated modulation and coding scheme (MCS) from the first client device, wherein the first client device communicates with the one or more servers using a radio access network (RAN), and wherein the first estimated MCS is in accordance with an estimated channel quality index (CQI) of a channel between the first client device and the RAN; transmitting, by the one or more servers, instructions to the first client device use a first MES for a transmission during the PTT broadcast call session, wherein the first MES is selected in accordance with the first estimated MCS; and receiving, by the one or more servers, a first transmission in accordance with the first MES from the first client device. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19)
