Abstract

See full text

A method and device for communicating encoded data (such as MPEG encoded data for example) from a server to a decoder via a buffer. The rate at which the server provides the encoded data are adjusted based on a state of the buffer such that the buffer does not overflow or run dry, even when the communication of the data is subject to drift. Specifically, when the buffer is below a predetermined level, the rate at which the server provides the encoded data is increased. On the other hand, when the buffer is above a predetermined level, the rate at which the server provides the encoded data is decreased.
