Abstract
A method for managing delivery of encoded bits to a decoder is disclosed. In the method, a number of bits associated with a variable system delay is determined. The variable system delay is a time interval between each of a plurality of frames being encoded and decoded and is measured with respect to a current time for each of the plurality of frames. A number of bits in an encoder buffer for an encoder is determined. A number of bits in a decoder buffer for a decoder configured to receive encoded bits from the encoder is determined based on the bits associated with the variable system delay and the bits in the encoder buffer. Delivery of the encoded bits to the decoder is managed based on the number of bits determined to be in the decoder buffer.
