Abstract
A method for managing adaptive streaming of an item of digital content within a multimedia stream reading terminal connected to a mobile communication network is disclosed. The item of digital content is associated with a description file for the item and includes a list of time segments of the item of content that are each associated with multiple encoding rates of the item of content. A maximum data volume to be consumed within the mobile communication network, as a data bucket, is allocated to the multimedia stream reading terminal. When the adaptive streaming of the item is launched, the method determines a data volume that would be consumed by the multimedia stream reading terminal as a result of streaming the time segments and selects a maximum encoding rate of the item authorized for the streaming on the basis of the consumed data volume associated therewith and of the data bucket.
