Abstract
A system and method is provided for controlling multimedia data transmission to a communication device via a network. The system comprises a de-muxer configured to obtain a first multimedia data for transmission and a flow controller configured to evaluate an estimated buffer time associated with the communication device. If the estimated buffer time satisfies a first threshold condition, the flow controller updates a current transmitting state to be a pacing state. And if the estimated buffer time satisfies a second threshold condition, the flow controller updates the current transmitting state to be a bursting state. The system also comprises a muxer configured to transmit the first multimedia data at a transmitting rate corresponding to the bursting state or the pacing state.
