Streaming agent for wired network/wireless link rate-mismatch environment
نویسندگان
چکیده
It has been shown that an agent located at the junction of wired and wireless links can help streaming media systems identify where packet losses occur and therefore maintain proper endto-end congestion control. In this paper, we further expand the functionality of such agents in two ways. First, they allow streaming servers to identify the allowed transmission rate in both the wired and wireless parts of the path. Second, they serve as a relay to exploit the difference in transmission rate of the two pans. Simulation results show that P S M improvement of over 2 dB can he achieved without extra bandwidth usage in the bottleneck links.

Streaming Agent: A Network Proxy for Media Streaming in 3G Wireless Networks
Streaming media in 3G wireless networks means the streaming server must simultaneously adapt the media content to two mediums of drastically different characteristics: an often congested wired network and an unreliable wireless link. To improve the server’s media adaptiveness, we enhance a previously proposed network proxy, located at the junction of the wired network and wireless link, to prov...

Media streams distribution over a wired network to static hosts can be realized by Client/Server mode or Peer-to-Peer overlay networks. However, if the end hosts are mobile over heterogeneous wireless access networks, one needs to consider many operational issues such as network detection, handoff, join and leave latency, and desired level of quality of service, as well as caching. In the lates...

For advanced streaming applications over wired-wireless networks TCP-Friendly Rate Control (TFRC) has been widely adopted nowadays to give smooth sending rate and unceasing quality in streaming applications TFRC applies an equation-based rate control scheme. However, TFRC tends to fail in wireless environment if packet lost event was done by poor channel quality but network congestion. Therefor...
