  • Method for smoothing the transmission of a time-sensitive file
    Patent number: 7301955
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method and apparatus for preparing a transmission schedule that when utilized results in the smooth transmission of a time-sensitive file over a communications network. According to one embodiment of the invention, for each frame, each potential ambiguity zone is analyzed to determine whether it would result in a feasible transmission, and the cost of each feasible ambiguity zone is found. Thereafter, the optimal feasible ambiguity zone for the frame is found and used to create a transmission schedule. A method for transmitting a file utilizing such a transmission schedule is also described.
