  • Adaptive resource allocation for media streams over wireless
    Patent number: 11611970
    Abstract: A method is provided in a wireless access point in a wireless communications network. The method includes obtaining information characterizing a first wireless stream and the second wireless stream transmitted or received by the wireless access point. The information includes at least a wireless channel quality for each of the first wireless stream and the second wireless stream. The method further includes allocating transmission resources to the first wireless stream and the second wireless stream based on the obtained information. In response to a change in quality of the first wireless stream, the method further includes revising the allocation of transmission resources for the first wireless stream based on at least one of a target bit-rate and a target level of smoothness.
    Type: Grant
