METHOD FOR MANAGING UNDER-RUNS AND A DEVICE HAVING UNDER-RUN MANAGEMENT CAPABILITIES

摘要

A method (500) for managing under-runs and a device (10) having under-run management capabilities. The method (500) includes retrieving (530) packets from multiple buffers, monitoring (540) a state of a multiple buffers, determining (550) whether an under-run associated with a transmission attempt of a certain information frame from a certain buffer occurs; if an under-run occurs, requesting (570) a certain information frame transmitter to transmit predefined packets while ignoring packets that are retrieved from the certain buffer, until a last packet of the information frame is retrieved from the certain buffer; and notifying (590) a processor that an under-run occurred after at least one predefined packet was transmitted; wherein each buffer out of the multiple buffers is adapted to store a fraction of a maximal sized information frame.
