Appl. No.:

10/633800

Inventors:

Nasir Mahmood Mirza - Overland Park KS, US

Assignee:

Sprint Communications Company L.P. - Overland Park KS

International Classification:

H04L 12/56
H04J 3/14

US Classification:

370235, 370468, 709228, 709233

Abstract:

A communication control system for bandwidth selection in a communication network includes a display device, an input device, a communication interface configured to transfer a bandwidth selection command to the communication network, and a processing system. The processing system is configured to display a graphical bandwidth selection indicium on the display device. The graphical bandwidth selection indicium includes two or more bandwidth indicia. The processing system is further configured to receive a user input from the input device in response to the graphical bandwidth selection indicium. The user input selects a particular bandwidth indicium of the two or more bandwidth indicia. The processing system is further configured to translate the user input into the bandwidth selection command and transfer the bandwidth selection command to the communication interface. The user input generates bandwidth selection command for a communication session in the communication network.
