Abstract:
1. A method of processing video data using a wireless communication apparatus including a first buffer memory temporarily accumulating a plurality of video data to be transmitted over time by wireless communication and a reception device which reproduces the video data a predetermined delay time after reception, the method comprising: allowing a counter to start counting; applying a count in the counter to the video data to be transmitted, as a timestamp; accumulating the video data to which the timestamp is applied, in the first buffer memory; checking an amount of video data in a second buffer memory provided in the reception device to temporarily accumulate the received video data an amount of which corresponds to the delay time; determining whether or not a reproduction time for the video data has already elapsed, with reference to the timestamp of the video data accumulated in the first buffer memory if the amount of video data in the second buffer memory is smaller than a predetermined threshold; and discarding the video data without transmitting the video data if the reproduction time for the video data has elapsed, wherein the determining whether or not the reproduction time for the video data has already elapsed includes: calculating a count corresponding to the delay time, subtracting the count corresponding to the delay time from the count in the counter, determining whether or not the timestamp of the video data accumulated in the first buffer memory is smaller than a result of the subtraction, and determining that the reproduction time has elapsed if the value of the timestamp is smaller than the subtraction result and determining that the reproduction time has not elapsed if the value of the timestamp is greater than the subtraction result.
