Abstract
Repetitive packets in a voice/data stream, are detected and suppressed in the transmitting side of a network, after a predefined number of consecutive repetitive packets have been transmitted. Then, at the receiving side of the network, suppressed repetitive packets are reconstituted by filling the resulting gap in the voice/data stream with the repetitive pattern contained in the last received repetitive packet. When the input voice/data stream is compressed, only non-repetitive packets are compressed so that repetitive patterns are not corrupted by compression.
