Abstract
A bandwidth adjustment server (BWAS) ( ) is provided which monitors system bandwidth usage, sends requests to terminals ( A, B and/or ), to identify their coding capabilities, and directs each of the terminals to adjust their coding algorithms based on system bandwidth usage. If system bandwidth usage is high, the BWAS ( ) requires the terminals to employ a less bandwidth intensive coding algorithm; similarly, when system bandwidth usage is low, the BWAS ( ) will allow the terminals to employ higher bandwidth use coding algorithms.
