Abstract:
1. A method for determining, by a receiving station, an estimated available bandwidth for transmitting a media stream over a network from a transmitting station to the receiving station, the method comprising: receiving a plurality of frames from the media stream at the receiving station; determining an inter-arrival time differential d for each frame from the plurality of frames, the inter-arrival time differential d t t T T determining an inter-frame size differential dL for each frame from the plurality of frames, the inter-frame size differential dL L L determining an estimated function by an adaptive filter that uses the inter-arrival time differential d for each frame from the plurality of frames and the inter-frame size differential dL for each frame from the plurality of frames as inputs, the estimated function having a slope C determining the estimated available bandwidth based on a comparison between the offset m
