Abstract
The present invention provides a method (900) and device (100) in multimedia communication systems for efficiently segmenting information bitstreams from multiple media sources into variable length packets, and multiplexing and sending the packets to a shared communication link with low delay and low overhead. The packet segmentation and multiplexing are performed dynamically based on fullness of a set of information buffers that contain the information bitstreams to be transmitted, and delay-sensitivity of each information bitstreams. The multi-discipline queuing scheme has been developed in this invention to control the dynamic packet segmenting and multiplexing process.
