A full service channel access protocol that supports the integrated transport of voice, video and data communications is provided by dividing a communication channel into a plurality of frames, dividing each of the frames into a plurality of slots, and dividing some of the plurality of slots into a plurality of mini-slots. The mini-slots are provided for use by the multiple communication sources to request the establishment of a new voice, data, or video transmission connection over the communication channel. Additionally, a second one of the plurality of slots is divided into a plurality of second mini-slots for use by the multiple communication sources to request the establishment of a new voice, data, or video transmission connection over the communication channel and for use by the multiple communication sources to augment an existing video connection over the communication channel. The method enables timely and power efficient communications over communication network
In a communication network comprising a communication source in communication with a network router over communication channel comprising a frame divided into a plurality of slots, a method for adjusting the rate at which video communications are issued by the communication source comprising the steps of:
In a communication network comprising a communication source in communication with a network router over communication channel comprising a frame divided into a plurality of slots, a computer-readable medium for use in connection with the communication source having computer-executable instructions for performing the steps of:
In a communication network comprising a communication source in communication with a network router over communication channel comprising a frame divided into a plurality of slots, a system for adjusting the rate at which video communications are issued by the communication source comprising:
A method for processing video information by a video transmission device capable of acquiring and compressing the video information, the video transmission device supporting an actual acquisition rate value and an actual compression rate value with respect to video data processed by the video transmission device, the video transmission device being capable of transmitting the video data over a communication channel having a plurality of time ranges for transmission of compressed video information by the video transmission device, the method comprising the steps of:
