Ensuring quality of a video stream through a telecommunications network

1. One or more computer-readable media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon for performing a method of ensuring that a video stream communicated from a mobile device is communicated subject to a minimum quality level, the method comprising:

receiving a request from a mobile device to communicate a video stream to a target device, the request being received through a wireless telecommunications network, the video stream to be communicated at the minimum quality level, wherein the video stream is being contemporaneously received by and communicated from the mobile device;

determining a quality level to be associated with a communication of the video stream by processing signaling information communicated from the mobile device to a policy server that is able to map the mobile device to a designated quality level;

associating the designated quality level with the video stream such that the video stream will be communicated consistent with the designated quality level;

utilizing the signaling information to establish a communications pathway between the mobile device and the target device; and

enabling communication of the video stream through the communications pathway consistent with the designated quality level.

2. The media of claim 1 wherein the request includes an invitation from the mobile device.

3. The media of claim 2 , wherein the invitation is compatible with a version of Session Initiation Protocol (SIP).

4. The media of claim 3 , wherein the invitation is a SIP invite message.

5. The media of claim 1 , wherein the request being received through the wireless telecommunications network includes receiving the request through a base station that forms part of the wireless telecommunication network.

6. The media of claim 5 , wherein the wireless communications network operates at a frequency other than about 2.4 GHz and about 5.8 GHz.

7. The media of claim 5 , wherein the wireless communications network utilizes a protocol that includes a selection from the following:

CDMA;

TDMA;

GSM;

GPRS;

iDEN.

8. The media of claim 1 , wherein the minimum quality level indicates at least one of the following:

a minimum bandwidth that is to be allocated to a communication of at least a portion of the video stream;

a priority level to be associated with data that makes up the video stream.

9. The media of claim 1 , wherein enabling communication of the media stream includes enabling communication of the video stream through at least a portion of the Internet to a receiving device that includes a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) stack that helps facilitate reception of the video stream.

10. The media of claim 9 , wherein the receiving device utilizes the SIP stack to register in an Internet Protocol (IP) Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) environment.

11. One or more computer-readable media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon for performing a method of ensuring that a video stream communicated from a mobile device is communicated subject to a minimum quality level, the method comprising:

accepting from the mobile device a request sent through a wireless telecommunications network;

processing signaling information associated with the request to identify a minimum quality level threshold;

determining that the minimum quality level threshold is available to communicate the video stream from the mobile device, wherein the video stream is being contemporaneously received by and communicated from the mobile device;

establishing a communication session utilizing the signaling information, wherein the communication session is utilized to communicate the video stream from the mobile device; and

facilitating receiving the video stream consistent with the quality level threshold from the mobile device by way of the session.

12. The media of claim 11 , wherein the wireless communications network operates at a frequency other than about 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz.

13. The media of claim 11 , wherein the signaling information is compatible with a version of Session Initiation Protocol (SIP).

14. The media of claim 11 , wherein the determining that the minimum quality level threshold is available is determined by way of referencing a data store that associates a quality of service level with an identifier that identifies the mobile device.

15. The media of claim 11 , wherein the communications session is associated with resources reserved for the communication session to provide the minimum quality.

16. The media of claim 11 , wherein the minimum quality level indicates at least one of the following:

a minimum bandwidth that is to be allocated to a communication of at least a portion of the video stream;

a priority level to be associated with data that makes up the video stream.

17. One or more computer-readable media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon for performing a method of ensuring that a video stream communicated from a mobile device is communicated subject to a minimum quality level, the method comprising:

receiving a request by way of signal information to communicate the video stream at the minimum quality level to a target device;

communicating the request to the target device;

determining resources necessary to communicate the video stream from the mobile device at the minimum quality level;

reserving the determined resources on a wireless telecommunications network to facilitate communication of the video stream from the mobile device at the minimum quality level; and

communicating to the mobile device by way of signaling information that the determined resources are reserved to communicate the video stream from the mobile device at the minimum quality level.

18. The media of claim 17 , wherein the signaling information is compatible with a version of Session Initiation Protocol (SIP).

19. The media of claim 18 , wherein the minimum quality level indicates at least one of the following:

a minimum bandwidth that is to be allocated to a communication of at least a portion of the video stream;

a priority level to be associated with data that makes up the video stream.

20. The media of claim 19 , wherein the communicating the request includes enabling communication of the request through at least a portion of the Internet to the target device that includes a SIP stack that helps facilitate reception of the request in an Internet Protocol (IP) Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) environment.
