<p>The present invention is concerned with a method, a network entity and computer program for detecting occurrence of transmission resynchronizations in a network carrying packets subject to variable delays. The present invention is further concerned with adaptively varying the play out time of data packets. According to a method embodying the invention, the packets are received at a network entity and forwarded by the network entity by delaying them of a jitter protection time. The method comprises determining (S110) for a predetermined time period a set of arrival time jitter values comprising values corresponding to jitters of data packet arrival time for at least a plurality of the received data packets. The method further comprises determining (S120) a peak to peak value indicating the largest difference among the values comprised in the determined set of arrival time jitter values and detecting (S130) an out of range condition when it is verified that at least one arrival time jitter value is larger than an upper threshold or at least one arrival time jitter value is smaller than a lower threshold. Moreover, the method comprises comparing (S140) the peak to peak value with the jitter protection time, when the out of range condition is detected and detecting (S150) that a resynchronization occurred on the basis of the comparing.</p> |
