Abstract
A method includes determining a packet loss rate in a real-time communication event based on a size of a packet block in a received sequence comprising multiple packets, determining a number of packet loss clusters within the packet block based on the packet loss rate, identifying one of a random loss pattern or a burst loss pattern based on the number of packet loss clusters or based on whether packet loss pattern matches a geometric distribution, including an error correction bit in at least one of the packets in the packet block when a random loss pattern is identified, and reducing a packet transmission rate when a burst loss pattern is identified. A system including a memory storing instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the system to perform the above method, is also provided.
