Abstract
A buffer status metric representing a current amount of video packets in a video playback buffer () of a user device (). A buffer status action is triggered based on the buffer status action and at least one of a mobility metric representing a mobility pattern of the user device () and a radio quality metric representing a signal strength of a radio channel carrying video packets towards the user device (). The embodiments also relate to determination of a buffer control model () that can be used in order to control the video playback buffer based on the input metrics. The embodiments achieve a more efficient control of video playback buffers () and may reduce the risk of freezes during video playback.
