Abstract:
A method in a network node relating to a process of controlling a data transfer related to video data of a video streaming service from a server to a wireless device is provided. The network node and wireless device operates in a wireless communications network. The network node determines a scheduling weight value for the wireless device to be used in the data transfer based on a target rate scheduling weight value and a proportional fair rate scheduling weight value. The network node then determines a size of data segment to be used in the data transfer based on at least part of the scheduling weight value. The network node further determines a pending data volume for the transferring of the video data to a play back buffer of the wireless device based on at least part of the scheduling weight value.
