Abstract

See full text

Examples are disclosed for mediating a voice communication session in which a communications server functions as a bridge service between a hybrid mobile device and a second endpoint. The hybrid mobile device sends, over an upstream link, and receives, over a downstream link, an Internet Protocol (IP) packet data media stream representing the voice communication session over a WiFi IP data communication link to and from the communications server. The hybrid mobile device is also capable of sending, over an upstream link, and receiving, over a downstream link, a second IP packet data media stream representing the same voice communication session over a cellular IP data communication link to and from the communications server. The hybrid mobile device monitors the quality of service (QoS) of the IP packet data media stream as determined by multiple communication link parameters for the 802.11 WiFi network connection. When the communication link parameters dip below a specified QoS, the hybrid mobile device interleaves a help packet into the upstream IP packet data media stream instructing the communications server to begin streaming the IP packet data media stream representing the voice communication session over the downstream link of the cellular IP data communication link in addition to and in sync with the IP packet data media stream being sent over the downstream link of the WiFi IP data communication link.
