Managing Communication Events
First Claim
1. A user terminal, the user terminal comprising a communication client application configured to manage communications with at least one further user terminal over at least two types of networks, wherein at least one of the types of network is a preferred type of network with an expected data bandwidth, the communication client application being configured to:
- determine with respect to at least one outgoing call is to be placed over a network other than the preferred type of network, the network other than the preferred type of network being a type of network with a lower data bandwidth;
generate a bandwidth adaptation message configured to manage communications over the network other than the preferred type of network, such that a communications quality associated with the communications with at least one further user terminal over the network other than the preferred type of network is maintained at an acceptable level.

Abstract
A user terminal, the user terminal comprising a communication client application for managing communications with at least one further user terminal over a first network, the communication client application being configured to: determine with respect to at least one outgoing call the first network is a lower bandwidth data network; generate a bandwidth adaptation message configured to manage communications over the first network, such that a communications quality associated with the communications with at least one further user terminal over a first network is maintained at an acceptable level.

14. An apparatus comprising:
-
at least one processor; and a memory comprising communication client application code configured to manage communications with at least one further user terminal over at least two types of networks, wherein at least one of the types of network is a preferred type of network with an expected data bandwidth, the code when executed on the at least one processor, causes the apparatus to; determine with respect to at least one outgoing call is to be placed over a network other than the preferred type of network, the network other than the preferred type of network being a type of network with a lower data bandwidth; generate a bandwidth adaptation message configured to manage communications over the network other than the preferred type of network, such that a communications quality associated with the communications with the at least one further apparatus over the network other than the preferred type of network is maintained at an acceptable level. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16)

17. A method for managing communications with at least one further user terminal over at least two types of networks, wherein at least one of the types of network is a preferred type of network with an expected data bandwidth, the method comprising:
-
determining with respect to at least one outgoing call is to be placed over a network other than the preferred type of network, the network other than the preferred type of network being a type of network with a lower data bandwidth; generating a bandwidth adaptation message configured to manage communications over the network other than the preferred type of network, such that a communications quality associated with the communications with the at least one apparatus over the network other than the preferred type of network is maintained at an acceptable level. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
