Abstract

The present disclosure generally relates to systems and methods for adaptively controlling codec rates based on a quality of a communication link such that the codec rate used for data communicated over the communication link automatically changes as the quality of the communication link changes. In one exemplary embodiment, a high codec rate is enabled if the quality of the communication link is high. If a parameter indicative of a quality of the communication link falls below a threshold, the codec rate is decreased. Decreasing of the codec rate generally decreases the quality of the encoded voice data that is to be routed through the network. However, decreasing of the codec rate also decreases the amount of encoded data that is to be routed through the network. Therefore, when the codec rate is decreased, a higher percentage of the encoded data provided by the codec is likely to be received by an end device that is playing the voice data to a user resulting in an improved voice message.
