Abstract
A method and apparatus for providing a centralized or regionalized transcoding function are disclosed. For example, the method detects a codec mismatch during a call setup between a calling party endpoint device and a called party endpoint device. The method then invokes a transcoding function directly by at least one border element (BE) to handle the detected mismatch, where the transcoding function is performed by at least one centralized or regionalized transcoding server and at least one media resource.
