ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to the reduction of delays introduced in connection with packet data mixing operations. In particular, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, communication endpoints providing packet data to a mixer are provided with packetization time adjustment information, in order to synchronize the arrival times of data from different communication endpoints. The packetization time adjustment information may be in the form of an amount of time or number of samples by which the endpoints packetization time should be shifted. The packetization time adjustment information may be provided as additional header information provided as part of a packet containing data transmitted to a communication endpoint from the mixer.
