Abstract—In wireless networks Jitter is a quality of service parameter that has to be reduced at switches. The jitter is classified into two: Delay jitter and Rate Jitter. The Delay jitter bounds the maximum difference in the total delay of different packets whereas the Rate jitter bounds the difference in packet delivery rates at various times. The paper analyses two algorithms namely off-line and on-line algorithms and proposes a new algorithm for reducing the rate jitter at low buffer sizes. The new algorithm, tolerance based jitter control algorithm has been compared to on-line algorithm and proved that it gives a better performance than the on-line algorithm presented in.
