Claim:
1. A method for determining a bit rate request (BRR) for a multimedia encoder of an electronic device, the method being performed by the electronic device, comprising the steps of: receiving first bit rate information from a receiver of multimedia content, the multimedia content being generated by the multimedia encoder and transmitted by the electronic device on a transmission link of the electronic device to said receiver, the first bit rate information relating to said transmission link; acquiring second bit rate information relating to a reception link of the electronic device; determining a set of properties of said transmission link and said reception link, wherein said set of properties is based on a correlation between said transmission link and said reception link; determining a combined BRR for the multimedia encoder as a function of said first bit rate information and said second bit rate information, wherein said function depends on said set of properties; and providing said combined BRR to the multimedia encoder; wherein said combined BRR is determined as the minimum of a bit rate request comprised in said first bit rate information and a bit rate request comprised in said second bit rate information in a case said correlation is higher than a predetermined threshold value.
