Dynamic adaptation of the jitter buffer for video streaming applications

Paper presents a new algorithm proposed to dynamically adapt jitter buffer, used in video transcoding applications. When the video content provider is moving continuously, the wireless network connectivity conditions changes in time. The resulting jitter should be compensated in video transcoder by selecting jitter buffer high enough to compensate all possible jitter variations. The algorithm, proposed in this paper updates the jitter buffer according to current jitter measurements and jitter prediction results in order to reduce the total latency of the video transcoding in live transmissions.
