FIELD: video technology.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the field of streaming video information in packet communication networks. A method is proposed that provides for: the introduction, between the next requests, of testing signals determined by the model of the delay change at the current interval making it possible to predict the value of the delay at the next request interval. The time interval between received and expected requests is reduced by the amount of the specified delay. The method differs in that the receiver sends test signals to the transmitter that determine the delay in the network between the receiver and the transmitter, predicts the delay and, in accordance with the forecast, changes the start time of the next request cycle.
EFFECT: improvement in the quality of the regulation process and the prevention of image quality reduction in the event of overloads in the telecommunications network.
