A method is provided for scheduling the transmission time of multimedia objects. The method includes dividing the transmission time into frames based on an object decoding rate. The transmission time is further divided within each frame of the multimedia object channel into time slots. The number of time slots is equivalent to dividing the transmission rate by the multimedia object decoding time. A delivery time schedule of multimedia objects is formed with a time stamp within the scheduled object delivery period or frame period. A scheduled object delivery period is computed which is equivalent to the maximum object group delay period allowable. Objects that cannot be delivered within a current time slot are re-scheduled to a later time slot.
