Interval-based real-time transmission control

Existing cell switched and packet switched transmission systems have difficulties to support real-time data transfer because the queueing characteristics and load variations in the network nodes are a handicap for it. With our interval-based output buffer transmission control method the data stream behavior is regulated in each network node and a data stream dependent time parameter adjustment is performed in each control process. The interval-based control method is also adjustable for controlling data stream smoothing and compression processes in a source node.
