Methods and apparatus for providing power efficient time management for mobile media

Apparatus for providing time management for mobile media that is distributed over a network, the apparatus comprising:

• means for receiving the mobile media comprising source video frames that are associated with a source time reference;
• means for capturing a portion of the source video frames;
• means for re-labeling the portion of the source video frames based on a system time reference to produce synchronized video frames, wherein the network provides communications based on the system time reference;
• and
• means for assembling a transmission frame that comprises the synchronized video frames.

A computer-readable medium having a computer program, which when executed by at least one processor, operates to provide time management for mobile media that is distributed over a network, the computer program comprising:

• instructions for receiving the mobile media comprising source video frames that are associated with a source time reference;
• instructions for capturing a portion of the source video frames;
• instructions for re-labeling the portion of the source video frames based on a system time reference to produce synchronized video frames, wherein the network provides communications based on the system time reference;
• and
• instructions for assembling a transmission frame that comprises the synchronized video frames.
