Abstract

Aspects provided herein provide methods, systems, and a non-transitory computer storage medium storing computer instructions for dynamic assignment of voice frames in a network. The method begins with measuring a radio frequency (RF) condition metric for a user equipment (UE). The RF condition metric is then compared with a predetermined frame assignment threshold. Based on the comparison, a number of voice frames are dynamically assigned to be sent to the UE.

Claims (28)

1 . A method of dynamic assignment of voice frames in a network, the method comprising:

measuring a radio frequency (RF) signal condition metric for a user equipment (UE);

comparing the RF signal condition metric with a predetermined frame assignment threshold; and

based on the comparing, dynamically assigning a number of voice frames to be sent to the UE.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the predetermined frame assignment metric is a signal to interference and noise (SINR) measurement.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the predetermined frame assignment metric is a measure of distance between the UE and a network element.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the predetermined frame assignment metric is a measure of distance between the UE and a wide area network (WAN).

5 . The method of claim 2 , further comprising decreasing the number of voice frames to be sent to the UE when the SINR measurement exceeds the predetermined frame assignment threshold.

6 . The method of claim 2 , further comprising increasing the number of voice frames to be sent to the UE when the SINR measurement is less than the predetermined frame assignment threshold.

7 . The method of claim 3 , further comprising decreasing the number of voice frames to be sent to the UE when the distance measurement is less than the predetermined frame assignment threshold.

8 . The method of claim 3 , further comprising increasing the number of voice frames to be sent to the UE when the distance measurement is greater than the predetermined frame assignment threshold.

9 . A method of dynamic assignment of voice frames, the method comprising:

transmitting a radio frequency (RF) signal condition metric to a network element; and

receiving a dynamically assigned number of voice frames based on a comparison of the RF signal condition metric with a predetermined frame assignment threshold.

10 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the predetermined frame assignment metric is a signal to interference and noise (SINR) measurement.

11 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the predetermined frame assignment metric is a measure of distance between a UE and the network element.

12 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the dynamically assigned number of voice frames is decreased if the RF signal condition metric exceeds the predetermined frame assignment threshold.

13 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the dynamically assigned number of voice frames is increased when the RF signal condition metric is less than the predetermined frame assignment threshold.

14 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the dynamically assigned number of voice frames is decreased when the distance measurement is less than the predetermined frame assignment threshold.

15 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the dynamically assigned number of voice frames is increased when the distance measurement is greater than the predetermined frame assignment threshold.

16 . A non-transitory computer storage media storing computer-useable instructions that, when used by one or more processors, cause the processors to:

measure a radio frequency (RF) signal condition metric for a user equipment (UE);

compare the RF condition metric with a predetermined frame assignment threshold; and

based on the comparing, dynamically assign a number of voice frames to be sent to the UE.

17 . The non-transitory computer storage media of claim 16 , wherein the predetermined frame assignment metric is a signal to interference and noise (SINR) measurement.

18 . The non-transitory computer storage media of claim 16 , wherein the predetermined frame assignment metric is a measure of distance between the UE and a network element.

19 . The non-transitory computer storage media of claim 16 , wherein the predetermined frame assignment metric is a measure of distance between the UE and a wide area network (WAN).

20 . The non-transitory computer storage media of claim 16 , further comprising dynamically increasing or decreasing the number of voice frames assigned to the UE based on the comparison.
