Transcoding avoidance during single radio voice call continuity (SRVCC)

Abstract:

Technology for transcoding avoidance is disclosed. A mobile switching center (MSC) server can decode a single radio voice call continuity (SRVCC) packet switch (PS) to circuit switched (CS) request message received from a mobility management entity (MME) that includes selected CODEC information for a selected CODEC used for a user equipment (UE) in an internet protocol (IP) Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) over long term evolution (LTE) system. The MSC server can encode the selected CODEC information for transmission to a target MSC to enable the target MSC to identify the selected CODEC for the UE to allow the selected CODEC to be used in the CS domain.
