A system for utilizing the available bit rate in a constrained variable bit rate channel is described. The system receives one or more encoded information streams, each having a variable bit rate. Rate control circuitry controls the rate of transmission of the encoded information streams so that the...http://www.google.se/patents/US6044396?utm_source=gb-gplus-sharePatent US6044396 - Method and apparatus for utilizing the available bit rate in a constrained variable bit rate channel
