Abstract
A reduction in bitrate oscillation penalties is achieved by determining an oscillation measure measuring a balance of bitrate increase and bitrate decrease of the varied bitrate at which recently retrieved segments of the sequence of segments have been retrieved and setting the bitrate at which a current segment of the sequence of segments is to be retrieved depending on the oscillation measure.
