Abstract
Methods, apparatuses, and systems are described for allowing a radio access network to infer information about conversational video traffic without requiring signaling mechanisms that allow communication with conversational video applications. Methods, apparatuses, and systems described herein allow radio access network equipment to detect conversational video traffic, collect information about the conversational video traffic and as well as other network conditions, predict delays associated with the conversational video traffic, predict a likely encoding rate that will be used by the application that generates the conversational video traffic, and/or allocate resources to the conversational video traffic based on the likely encoding rates and/or other network conditions.
