Abstract:
1. A device to schedule transmission time of media data units, the device operable to execute instructions stored in a non-transitory form, to: determine a latest time for transmitting each of the media data units; determine an earliest time for transmitting each of the media data units; and determine whether the determined latest time for one of the media data units is not less than the determined earliest time for said media data unit; schedule a transmission time for each of the media data units, wherein, if the determined latest time for one of the media data units is not less than the determined earliest time for said media data unit, the device executes instructions to select as the transmission time for said one of the media data units a larger one from the determined earliest time and a time at which the one of the media data units was originally submitted to the device for transmission; otherwise, the device executes instructions to schedule the transmission time at a determined earliest time relative to at least one previous earliest time.
