A method of determining at least an estimate of media latency for
push-to-talk communications includes determining a first time associated
with transmitting a first packet from a push-to-talk transceiver device.
In a disclosed example, the same device receives a second packet that
corresponds to the first packet and includes an indication of the first
time, a second time associated with receipt of the first packet by
another device such as a push-to-talk server and a third time associated
with transmission of the second packet to the push-to-talk transceiver
device. That same device determines a fourth time associated with receipt
of the second packet. In a disclosed example, the push-to-talk
transceiver device uses a relationship between the first time, second
time, third time and fourth time for determining at least an estimate of
media latency associated with the push-to-talk communication
corresponding to the first and second packets. A plurality of latency
test procedures are disclosed.
