TLDR
In this article, a method for segmenting information bitstreams from multiple media sources into variable length packets and multiplexing and sending the packets to a shared communication link with low delay and low overhead is presented.Abstract:
The present invention provides a method (900) and device (100) in multimedia communication systems for efficiently segmenting information bitstreams from multiple media sources into variable length packets, and multiplexing and sending the packets to a shared communication link with low delay and low overhead. The packet segmentation and multiplexing are performed dynamically based on fullness of a set of information buffers that contain the information bitstreams to be transmitted, and delay-sensitivity of each information bitstream. The multi-discipline queuing scheme has been developed in this invention to control the dynamic packet segmenting and multiplexing process.read more

Call control with transmission priority in a packet communication network of an ATM type
TL;DR: In this article, a virtual bandwidth is calculated for the second priority source as a value between the peak and average rates, and each of the connection requests is admitted when a bandwidth defined by the priority of each source is accepted in a residual bandwidth of the predetermined bandwidth, and the packets from the source of the first priority are preferentially transmitted to the transmission line.
