Abstract:
Techniques are provided for managing network traffic and alleviating network congestion issues in video conference environments. At a video conference bridge device configured to send and receive communications to an endpoint device in a network, one or more video streams are received from the endpoint participating in a video conference. Each of the video streams is classified as a rate adaptive stream or as a non-rate adaptive stream. For video streams classified as rate adaptive streams, the video streams are assigned to a buffer queue for rate adaptive streams. For video streams classified as non-rate adaptive streams, the video streams are assigned to a buffer queue for non-rate adaptive streams.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a method can include: (i) establishing an internet protocol (IP) connection; (ii) forming a buffered version of a plurality of voice frame slices from received audio packets; and (iii) when an erasure is detected, performing a packet loss concealment (PLC) to provide a synthesized speech signal for the erasure, where the PLC can include: (a) identifying first and second pitches from the buffered version of the plurality of voice frame slices; and (b) forming the synthesized speech signal by using the first and second pitches, and more if needed, followed by an overlay-add (OLA).
