Abstract:
A method for the numeric control of a buffer for asynchronous networks comprising:obtaining a statistical estimation of a received data flow temporal distribution by one or more of: carrying out a statistical estimation of the received data flow temporal distribution according to the input phase, or considering a model, known a priori, of the received data flow, and comparing said received data flow model with a statistical estimation of the received data flow temporal distribution carried out according to the input phase; obtaining an estimate of the source frequency and deriving one or more statistical parameters of said statistical estimation of the data temporal distribution; sending said source frequency estimate and said parameter(s) to one or more buffer control blocks defining a read out statistical pointer; and controlling the buffer through the input phase measured value; wherein the filling level, or level of use, of the buffer is kept within a range of between 50% and 90%.
