Controller for reducing latency in a group communication network
First Claim
Patent Images
1. In a controller, a method for reducing latency in a group communication network, the method comprising:
- responding to a request to join the network including, as embedded content, a network'"'"'s media and real-time media signaling destination addresses and other network parameters including media payload format descriptors;
determining whether any media frame belonging to a communication protocol is lost, the media frame being directed to the controller;
modifying the communication protocol if a media frame is lost; and
buffering media traffic until a receiver of the buffered media traffic is ready to receive the buffered media traffic.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for reducing perceived latency in a group communication network provides for receiving a request from a user of a communication device wishing to initiate a group call, receiving media from the user before completely processing the request, and buffering the received media for later transmission.
