Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Data streams are transmitted from a node towards a receiver in a communication network in the form of data packets for playout via a reproduction buffer at the receiver. The data packets are arranged in a scheduling queue and dropped from the scheduling queue if their sojourn time in the queue exceeds a given drop deadline. The reproduction buffer is emulated at the node in order to determine respective playout values for the data packets which are indicative of expected playout instants for the data packets by the reproduction buffer at the receiver. The drop deadlines are assigned to the data packets as a function of the respective playout values determined via the reproduction buffer as emulated at the node.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method comprising: arranging a plurality of data packets in a scheduling queue at a node in a communication network; emulating, at the node, a playout buffer of a receiver in the communication network with an emulated reproduction buffer, wherein emulating the playout buffer comprises: determining an optimal playout delay of a previous data packet played out by the receiver; and determining a playout value for a first data packet of the pluralit…
