Abstract
A method and system for selecting an optimal size of a jitter buffer in a real time communications system includes calculating a frame loss rate from packet arrival statistics. The packet arrival statistics include determining an average queue time a frame spends in a jitter buffer and determining the difference between an expected arrival time and actual arrival time of a sample of data packets into a receiver. The frame loss rate is calculated by considering the frames that arrive late, frames that are lost in the network and frames that overflow due to an arriving burst of frames.
