METHOD, INTEGRATED CIRCUIT, AND COMMUNICATION UNIT FOR SCHEDULING A PROCESSING OF PACKET STREAM CHANNELS

摘要

A method for scheduling a processing of packet stream channels comprises: determining whether at least one packet stream channel comprises a media frame ready for processing (210); if at least one packet stream channel comprises a media frame ready for processing, identifying a media frame ready for processing having a highest priority (230); and scheduling the identified highest priority media frame for processing (240). The method further comprises prioritising media frames ready for processing based on at least one of: a media frame availability time and an estimated processing time, for each media frame.
