Patent number: 12261781Abstract: A method for operating a communication network includes a communication network providing a sender of a distributed real-time application and a receiver of the distributed real-time application with a communication connection, the distributed real-time application defining a minimum operable data rate. The sender periodically transmits data packets to the receiver via the provided communication connection at a data rate higher than the defined minimum operable data rate. The sender steadily determines a currently available bitrate of the communication connection, and adjusts the data rate to a data rate lower than the determined currently available bitrate by a data rate offset defined by the distributed real-time application. A node of the communication network learns the defined data rate offset and provides a guaranteed minimum bitrate of the communication connection higher than a booked minimum bitrate of the communication connection by the learned data rate offset.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2023Date of Patent: March 25, 2025Assignee: DEUTSCHE TELEKOM AGInventors: Dominik Schnieders, Nico Bayer
