Abstract

See full text

Packet rate control methods and related systems are disclosed for interactive music systems. In certain embodiments, an interactive music client system combines captured audio data from audio inputs with audio input data from one or more peer interactive music client systems within an interactive music session and outputs the combined audio data to an audio output subsystem. The interactive music client system further determines performance parameters associated with the interactive music sessions and adjusts audio input/output packets based upon the performance parameters. The performance parameters can include, for example, session packet rates or other parameters. Adjustments can include aggregating audio frames, reducing packet rates, and adjusting audio frames within a jitter queue receive buffer. The jitter queue receive buffer, for example, can be adjusted so that is contents are reduced towards zero and/or to zero within a predetermined time duration. Other variations can also be implemented.
