1. A method for providing communications, comprising:
- receiving, at an interworking gateway coupled between a first network and a second network, a first set of media generated at a first data rate, wherein the first set of media includes a first indication of network congestion generated within the first network;
providing, based on the first indication of network congestion, a data rate adjustment request for requesting a lower data rate from a first user equipment (UE) in the first network;
modifying the first set of media to remove the first indication of network congestion; and
sending the modified first set of media to the second network.

Abstract
Systems and methods for implementing explicit congestion notification (ECN) across disparate networks, configurations, and protocols are disclosed. Local rate adaptation using ECN may be provided without relying on other operators to upgrade or ensure their networks are ECN transparent or ECN capable.

9. A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium including codes for causing a computer to:
-
receive a first set of media generated at a first data rate, wherein the first set of media includes a first indication of network congestion generated within the first network; provide, based on the first indication, a data rate adjustment request for requesting a lower data rate from a first UE in a first network; modify the first set of media to remove the first indication of network congestion; and send the modified first set of media to the second network. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. An interworking gateway, comprising:
-
a first network interface module configured to receiving a first set of media generated at a first data rate from a first network, wherein the first set of media includes a first indication of network congestion generated within the first network; a processor module configured to; generate, based on the first indication, a data rate adjustment request; and modify the first set of media to remove the first indication of network congestion, wherein the first network interface module is further configured to provide the data rate adjustment request to a first UE in the first network; and a second network interface module configured to send the modified first set of media to the second network. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
