Voice over IP
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
Matrix can also be used to set up VoIP calls. This is part of the core
|
||||
specification, although is at a relatively early stage. Voice (and video) over
|
||||
Matrix is built on the WebRTC 1.0 standard. Call events are sent to a room, like
|
||||
any other event. This means that clients must only send call events to rooms
|
||||
with exactly two participants as currently the WebRTC standard is based around
|
||||
two-party communication.

Message Exchange
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
A call is set up with messages exchanged as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
::
|
||||
|
||||
Caller Callee
|
||||
[Place Call]
|
||||
m.call.invite ----------->
|
||||
m.call.candidate -------->
|
||||
[..candidates..] -------->
|
||||
[Answers call]
|
||||
<--------------- m.call.answer
|
||||
[Call is active and ongoing]
|
||||
<--------------- m.call.hangup
|
||||
|
||||
Or a rejected call:
|
||||
|
||||
::
|
||||
|
||||
Caller Callee
|
||||
m.call.invite ------------>
|
||||
m.call.candidate --------->
|
||||
[..candidates..] --------->
|
||||
[Rejects call]
|
||||
<-------------- m.call.hangup
|
||||
|
||||
Calls are negotiated according to the WebRTC specification.

~~~~~
|
||||
This specification aims to address the problem of two users calling each other
|
||||
at roughly the same time and their invites crossing on the wire. It is a far
|
||||
better experience for the users if their calls are connected if it is clear
|
||||
that their intention is to set up a call with one another.
|
||||
|
||||
In Matrix, calls are to rooms rather than users (even if those rooms may only
|
||||
contain one other user) so we consider calls which are to the same room. The
|
||||
rules for dealing with such a situation are as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
- If an invite to a room is received whilst the client is preparing to send an
|
||||
invite to the same room, the client should cancel its outgoing call and
|
||||
instead automatically accept the incoming call on behalf of the user.
|
||||
- If an invite to a room is received after the client has sent an invite to
|
||||
the same room and is waiting for a response, the client should perform a
|
||||
lexicographical comparison of the call IDs of the two calls and use the
|
||||
lesser of the two calls, aborting the greater. If the incoming call is the
|
||||
lesser, the client should accept this call on behalf of the user.
|
||||
|
||||
The call setup should appear seamless to the user as if they had simply placed
|
||||
a call and the other party had accepted. Thusly, any media stream that had been
|
||||
setup for use on a call should be transferred and used for the call that
|
||||
replaces it.
