Abstract

A system for variable bit-rate video coding in which encoding bandwidth as characterized by a usage parameter control (UPC) parameters is renegotiated between a video encoder and an asynchronous transfer mode network in order to maintain quality-of-service and save bandwidth. The coding system includes adjusting the video source quantization in a manner for controlling the occupancy level of a buffer while new UPC parameters are requested from an ATM network.
