Abstract

Provided are a video acceleration method, a client and a network element. The method comprises: a client senses the amount of video buffered in a playback buffer area; when the amount of video is less than or equal to a lower limit of a buffer threshold, a video acceleration request is sent to a core network side network element, so that the core network side network element accelerates downloading of the video currently buffering in the broadcast buffer area, thereby ensuring that the playback buffer area stores a sufficient amount of video data. Within a mobile network environment, video pausing in a client is therefore reduced.
