Efficient handover of media communications in heterogeneous IP networks
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- using a first Internet Protocol address and port (IP;
port) number to receive at a device from a second IP;
port number a first media control channel stream including quality information indicative of a quality of transmission of a first media stream being sent by the device through a network;
sending, by the device, from the first IP;
port number to the second IP;
port number a second media control channel stream including quality information indicative of a quality of transmission of a second media stream being received at the device through the network;
based on a network handover request, sending from a third IP;
port number to the second IP;
port number a third media control channel stream including quality information indicative of a quality of transmission of a third media stream being received at the device through an alternate network; and
using the third IP;
port number to receive from the second IP;
port number a fourth media control channel stream including quality information indicative of a quality of transmission of a fourth media stream being sent by the device through the alternate network.
