Abstract: A method of allocating bandwidth resources in a telecommunications network to which a plurality of devices are connected, involves the steps of: a) receiving from a first of the devices engaged in a call a suspend signal indicative that outgoing traffic from that device has been temporarily suspended, while the device remains engaged in the call; and b) upon receipt of the signal, allocating additional bandwidth to one or more other of the devices. The allocation of bandwidth can be carried out by one of the devices engaged in a call, or by a network bandwidth allocation device which oversees the bandwidth allocation used by each calling device and adjusts allocations dynamically as devices suspend and recommence their outgoing traffic. The adjustment of bandwidth allocation is preferably achieved by the device(s) switching codecs, and the suspend signals preferably result from the deactivation of transmissions in response to a voice activity detection unit in the first device.
