摘要

A method and device for enabling packet transfer delay compensation in multimedia streaming. In order to enable a streaming server to optimally operate its rate-control and rate-shaping algorithms to compensate for packet transfer delay variation, information indicative of jitter buffering capabilities of the streaming client is conveyed to the streaming server. The information contains the client's chosen pre-decoding parameters so that the client's jitter buffering capabilities can be determined by the server based on the difference between the client's chosen pre-decoding parameters and the pre-decoding buffering parameters provided by the streaming server.
