Abstract

In overview, the various embodiments include methods performed by a receiver device processor for implementing one or more buffer space management strategies to free up space in the buffer in response to determining that the buffer is full. In the various embodiments, the receiver device processor may analyze media packets stored in the buffer based on various criteria to identify media packets that may be discarded without significantly impacting playout sound quality to free space in the buffer for incoming packets.
