Abstract

A method, device and medium for determining a coding format are provided. The method includes: receiving one or more data packets forwarded by a call center during a VoLTE communication, in which the one or more data packets carry a first coding format; detecting whether the first coding format is same with a negotiated second coding format; and modifying the coding format used during the VoLTE communication from the second coding format to the first coding format, if the first coding format is not same with the negotiated second coding format.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for determining a coding format, the method comprising: receiving at least two data packets forwarded by a call center during a Voice over Long Term Evolution (VoLTE) communication, wherein the at least two data packets carry a first coding format; detecting whether the first coding format is same with a negotiated second coding format; and modifying the coding format used during the VoLTE communication from the second coding format to the first coding format, if the first coding format is not same with the negotiated second coding format, wherein modifying the coding format used during the VoLTE communication from the second coding format to the first coding format comprises: counting, in the at least two data packets, the number of packets of which the first coding format is different from the second coding format; detecting whether the number is greater than a predetermined threshold; modifying the coding format used during the VoLTE communication from the second coding format to the first coding format, if the number is greater than the predetermined threshold; and neglecting a data packet carrying the first coding format, if the number is smaller than the predetermined threshold.

2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
coding data to be transmitted according to the first coding format; and
transmitting the one or more data packets carrying the coded data to the call center.

3. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
sending a notification for modifying the coding format to the call center, wherein the notification carries the first coding format.

4. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
sending the coding format supported by a calling terminal to the call center via a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) during a VoLTE calling;
receiving a request for verifying the coding format sent by the call center, wherein the request carries the negotiated second coding format; and
responding to the request and storing the second coding format.

5. A device for determining a coding format, the device comprising: a processor; and a memory configured to store an instruction executable by the processor; wherein the processor is configured to: receive at least two data packets forwarded by a call center during a VoLTE, wherein the at least two data packets carries a first coding format; detect whether the first coding format is same with a negotiated second coding format; and modify the coding format used during the VoLTE communication from the second coding format to the first coding format, if the first coding format is not same with the negotiated second coding format, wherein the processor configured to modify the coding format used during the VoLTE communication from the second coding format to the first coding format is further configured to: count, in the at least two data packets, the number of packets of which the first coding format is different from the second coding format; detect whether the number is greater than a predetermined threshold; modify the coding format used during the VoLTE communication from the second coding format to the first coding format, if the number is greater than the predetermined threshold; and neglect a data packet carrying the first coding format, if the number is smaller than the predetermined threshold.

6. The device according to claim 5 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
code data to be transmitted according to the first coding format; and
transmit the one or more data packets carrying the data coded to the call center.

7. The device according to claim 5 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
send a notification for changing the coding format to the call center, wherein the notification carries the first coding format.

8. The device according to claim 5 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
send the coding format supported by a calling terminal to the call center via a SIP during a VoLTE calling;
receive a request for verifying the coding format sent by the call center, wherein the request carries the negotiated second coding format; and
respond to the request and store the second coding format.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored therein instructions that, when executed by a processor of a device, causes the device to perform a method for determining a coding format, the method comprising: receiving at least two data packets forwarded by a call center during a VoLTE communication, wherein the at least two data packets carries a first coding format; detecting whether the first coding format is same with a negotiated second coding format; and changing the coding format used during the VoLTE communication from the second coding format to the first coding format, if the first coding format is not same with the negotiated seconding coding format, wherein changing the coding format used during the VoLTE communication from the second coding format to the first coding format comprises: counting, in the at least two data packets, the number of packets of which the first coding format is different from the second coding format; detecting whether the number is greater than a predetermined threshold; changing the coding format used during the VoLTE communication from the second coding format to the first coding format, if the number is greater than the predetermined threshold; and neglecting a data packet carrying the first coding format, if the number is smaller than the predetermined threshold.

10. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 9 , wherein the method further comprises:
coding data to be transmitted according to the first coding format; and
transmitting the one or more data packets carrying the coded data to the call center.

11. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 9 , wherein the method further comprises:
sending a notification for changing the coding format to the call center, wherein the notification carries the first coding format.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 9 , wherein the method further comprises:
sending the coding format supported by a calling terminal to the call center via a SIP during a VoLTE calling;
receiving a request for verifying the coding format sent by the call center, wherein the request carries the negotiated second coding format; and
responding to the request and storing the second coding format.
