ADAPTIVE DATA RATE CONTROL

摘要

The present invention relates to a data rate controlling feedback loop (355, 360) that can evaluate an actual instantaneous available quality of service of a communication link (345) for transmitting data and control the data rate based on an evaluation result. Feedback control may both be local to a device for acquiring examination data such as e.g. a magnetic resonance imaging coil or over the communication link by reducing the data rate at least momentarily to fit the communication link's performance over time, enabling a graceful degradation of an image quality at lower data rates.
