Abstract:
A method for transmitting data from a transmitter to at least one receiver, wherein the transmitter has a fixed time reference, the method comprising the steps of:receiving multiple data streams from different sources, data throughputs of the multiple data streams being unequally distributed;receiving, in the transmitter, a notice of a change in data throughput of a first data stream of the multiple data streams before a time of the change;transmitting, from the transmitter, the notice of the change in data throughput with a next transmission section after receipt of the notice of the change;reducing the data throughput no later than a predefined time period after receiving the notice, wherein the predefined time period is determined by the fixed time reference of the transmitter; andtransmitting the multiple data streams from the different sources to the at least one receiver, wherein the notice of the change in data throughput is transmitted from a source of the different sources to the transmitter at least a second time period before a start of the next transmission section, wherein the second time period includes a sum of all system-related delays.
