Abstract:
A method for transmitting a speech, audio and/or video signal as packets of a packet network, the method comprising:encoding the signal to be transmitted into a parameter group which is inserted in traffic frames; inserting traffic frames and/or parts of traffic frames in a payload part of the packets and sending the packets to a destination; forming the payload part of at least some of the packets from at least one partial traffic frame in addition to at least one whole or partial traffic frame; said whole or partial traffic frames being formed of the same signal, until the payload part of the packet will be substantially full; separating the traffic frames from the payload of the received packet at the destination; and passing parameter groups of the traffic frames to a decoder for producing original speech, audio and/or video signal, respectively, wherein the received parameter groups are buffered at the destination and they are passed to the decoder at essentially equal intervals, and the passing of buffered parameter groups is synchronized on the basis of the received packets in such a manner that the parameter groups are passed to the decoder on average on a same frequency as the packets are received.
