Abstract

A method (400) and a communication network (110) for operating a cross coding element are described herein. The communication network (110) may detect a condition suggesting a change in encoded protocols between a first endpoint (240) and a second endpoint (250) such as, but not limited to, a call setup, an application requirement, and a handover associated with the first endpoint (240). The first endpoint (240) may operate in accordance with a first encoded protocol whereas the second endpoint (250) may operate in accordance with a second encoded protocol. The communication network (110) may communicate with a cross coding element (230) configured to convert a first encoded protocol signal from the first endpoint (240) to a second encoded signal. The first encoded signal may be encoded by the first encoded protocol, and the second encoded signal may be encoded by the second encoded protocol.
