A method, for wireless transmission of real-time media from a source to a sink over a wireless transmission channel is disclosed. In one embodiment, the method comprises encoding media as a plurality of sets of frames, wherein each set of frames includes a key-frame, wherein the media is encoded for the wireless transmission such that a time-required for transmission of the key-frame of each set of frames is less than or equal to a time-allocation for the wireless transmission; and wirelessly transmitting the media from the source device to the sink device.

Wireless transmission of real-time media

A method, wireless communication device, and computer readable medium, are disclosed, for wireless transmission of real-time media from a source to a sink over a wireless transmission channel. The wireless device initiates a peer-to-peer communication session between the sink and the source, and determines based on a time-allocation for the wireless transmission, an available bandwidth for the wireless transmission. The wireless device encodes the real-time media for the wireless transmission such that a time-required for transmission of the first frame-type is less than or equal to a period-of-availability for transmission defined in the time-allocation for the wireless transmission.
