Abstract
It is presented a method for managing a jitter buffer depth for receiving real-time communication. The method is performed in a receiver and comprises the steps of: determining an adaptive bitrate state of the receiver when a current capacity of a communication channel for receiving the real-time communication is below a maximum bitrate for receiving the real-time communication; and increasing a depth of a jitter buffer for receiving the real-time communication when the adaptive bitrate state is determined.

A method for managing a depth of a jitter buffer for receiving a real-time media transmission from a transmitter, the method being performed in a receiver and comprising:
- determining that a current bitrate capacity of a communication channel used for receiving the real-time media transmission is below a maximum bitrate for receiving the real-time media transmission;
- requesting an increased transmission bitrate for the real-time media transmission from the transmitter;
- and
- increasing the depth of the jitter buffer in conjunction with the requesting an increased transmission bitrate.
A receiver arranged to manage a depth of a jitter buffer for receiving a real-time media transmission from a transmitter, the receiver comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the receiver to:
- determine that a current bitrate capacity of a communication channel used for receiving the real-time media transmission is below a maximum bitrate for receiving the real-time media transmission;
- request an increased transmission bitrate for the real-time media transmission from the transmitter;
- and
- increase the depth of the jitter buffer in conjunction with the requesting an increased transmission bitrate.
