Dynamic Buffering for Packet Synchronization

The patent divides a single large jitter buffer into multiple smaller per-stream buffers. Each buffer handles a specific media stream (audio, video, etc.), allowing independent management of buffering parameters for different traffic types. This segmentation enables the system to reduce overall delay while maintaining reliability by optimizing each stream's buffer size based on its specific requirements.

The patent implements dynamic buffer size adjustment where each per-stream buffer can independently adapt its size based on real-time network conditions and stream characteristics. The buffer sizes are not fixed but dynamically modified to balance packet loss prevention and delay reduction, allowing the system to respond to changing network conditions without requiring a uniformly large buffer for all streams.

The patent segments the buffer management system into independent per-stream buffers, where each buffer is dedicated to a specific media stream. This segmentation simplifies the management of isosynchronicity by allowing each stream to be handled independently with its own timing and buffering parameters, rather than managing a single complex multi-stream buffer.

Each per-stream buffer operates with its own read and write pointers that independently manage packet sequencing and timing for its designated stream. The buffers self-regulate their operations based on stream-specific requirements, reducing the need for complex centralized control logic and simplifying the overall system management while maintaining isosynchronicity.
