Dynamic packet delay assignment for bandwidth optimization of packet flows

摘要

A method and apparatus for transmitting delay sensitive information (DSI) and non-delay sensitive information (NDSI) (200,202,204,206,208) over a communication link where initial DSI packets are delayed to reduce the number of conflicts between DSI and NDSI. The delay applied to the DSI is based on parameters (206) such as the transmission periodicity of the DSI packets and the packet length of the NDSI being transmitted. <IMAGE>
