Method and apparatus for supporting compressed video with explicit rate congestion control

摘要

A method and system provide for adaptive coding for transporting of compressed video data. The method and system include techniques for predicting the rate which an encoder needs to be able to supply video to a network. The method and system also include the network receiving the demand rate and calculating an allocation rate which is ultimately fed back to the video source setting an explicit rate for the transporting of compressed video. Furthermore, it includes the adaptation of the encoding rate at the video source in accordance with the explicit rate allocated by the network in response to the demand.
