METHOD FOR DECIDING WHETHER A WIRELESS CONNECTION BETWEEN A MOBILE TERMINAL AND THE INTERNET IS USABLE FOR ESTABLISHING TELEPHONE COMMUNICATION VIA THE INTERNET

摘要

The method involves evaluating quality of speech connection assured via Internet from a mobile terminal connected to an access terminal for the Internet via a wireless connection. The evaluation step is performed by measuring latency and loss rate introduced by a portion of the speech connection including the wireless connection, so as to establish the speech connection with sufficient quality when the latency and the loss rate meet predetermined criteria. An independent claim is also included for a mobile telephone terminal comprising a wireless connection unit connected to a mobile telephone network.
