TRANSMITTING/RECEIVING AUDIO AND/OR VIDEO DATA OVER A WIRELESS NETWORK

摘要

A method of transmitting audio and/or video data to a plurality of client devices over a wireless network. The method includes, at a server: encoding a stream of audio and/or video data to provide an encoded stream of audio and/or video data for transmission over the wireless network; transmitting the encoded stream of audio and/or video data to the plurality of client devices over the wireless network; receiving, from one or more of the client devices, statistics derived from the encoded stream of audio and/or video data as received by the one or more client devices; and modifying the encoding of the stream of audio and/or video data based on the received statistics. The method may be particularly suitable for transmission of audio and/or video data to a large number of client devices in a densely packed environment.
