Abstract

A method and arrangement for dynamically adapting thresholds used for selecting a codec mode to be used is presented. Thresholds are adapted in response to the current received signal quality. An estimate of actual prevailing received signal quality is obtained on which the adaptation is based. The present invention can be applied either on the mobile terminal side or on the network side, working on the uplink and/or the downlink. The thresholds can be modified on the receiving side, or, when operating in the network and working on the downlink, the threshold adaptation can be initiated in the terminal.
