System and method for real-time data transmission using adaptive time compression

摘要

A system and method is provided for real-time data transmission using adaptive time compression that is based on an estimation of network load, one or more media properties of the real-time data, and/or a battery level of the mobile device. A first embodiment provides a mobile device operable to transmit real-time data using the adaptive time compression. Another embodiment provides a wireless network operable to transmit real-time data using the adaptive time compression. Another embodiment provides a wireless network operable to determine a time compression ratio, which is used for the adaptive time compression. The time compression ratio might be sent to the mobile device for use by the mobile device in up (reverse) link transmission, or by the mobile device in down (forward) link reception, or both. Another embodiment provides a mobile device operable to enter a low power consumption mode while not actively transmitting or receiving.

1. A method comprising:
transmitting data in real-time using adaptive time compression by transmitting data blocks such that a ratio of time elapsed for transmitting each data block to time elapsed for generating the data block from a source is adaptive based on at least an estimation of network load; wherein the adaptive time compression adapts a duty cycle of the data being transmitted in real-time while maintaining same net data throughput from the source.
