A mobile telephone 12 acts as a radio communications gateway between a 3G
network 10 and a Bluetooth.RTM. network 11. A video conference call in
the 3G network 10 is relayed over the Bluetooth.RTM. network 11 to and
from a Bluetooth.RTM. enabled laptop Personal Computer (PC) 13, which
therefore acts as a radio communications terminal. A Channel Quality
Indicator (CQI) received by the mobile terminal 12 with the video
conference content over the 3G network 10 is transmitted by the mobile
telephone 12 to the laptop PC 13 over the Bluetooth.RTM. network 13 as a
Pseudo-CQI (P-CQI). In this example, the P-CQI is sent in a FLOW control
field of a header 40 of a Synchronous Connection Oriented (SCO) or
extended SCO (eSCO) data packet of the Bluetooth.RTM. network 11. A video
conference driver application running on the laptop PC 13 is then able to
alter the video conference call properties according to the value of the
P-CQI, thus responding to call quality conditions in the 3G network 10.
