Abstract

A method for providing interactive communications services (400) to a plurality of users (300) using a corresponding plurality of communications devices (300) via a wireless network (100) which may degrade performance of the communications services including initiating (3410) the communications services (400). State information is requested from at least two of the communications devices (300) indicative of whether the wireless network (100) is degrading (3405) the initiated communications services after a predetermined temporal period. Data indicative of the requested state information is received and tested for differences. Smoothing the communications services occurs using at least one of the communications devices (300) if differences detected exceed a given threshold.
