Path Diversity Media Streaming over Best Effort Packet Switched Networks by Thinh P.Q. Nguyen Doctor of Philosophy in Engineering-Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences University of California at Berkeley Professor Avideh Zakhor, Chair Recent years has witnessed phenomenal growth of the Internet. According to Internet Software Consortium, number of hosts has reached 171 millions in January 2003 versus 71 millions in January 2000 and 5.8 millions in January 1995. Part of this explosive expansion is the proliferation of multimedia data such as image, audio, and video on the Internet. The current “best-effort” Internet, however, does not guarantee Quality of Service (QoS) such as minimum bandwidth, packet loss rate, and delay which are critical to many multimedia applications. As such, many significant challenges remain to design and deploy delay sensitive multimedia applications over the Internet effectively. In this dissertation, we develop a path diversity framework for concurrent media streaming to a receiver using multiple routes. Without requiring QoS, our framework improves the quality of the streamed media via multiple routes created using either multiple senders or relay nodes, in order to increase available bandwidth, reduce packet loss and delay. Our path diversity framework combines

متن کاملDistributed Video Streaming over Internet
With the explosive growth of video applications over the Internet, many approaches have been proposed to stream video effectively over packet switched, best-effort networks. A number of these use techniques from source and channel coding, or implement transport protocols, or modify system architectures in order to deal with delay, loss, and time-varying nature of the Internet. In this paper, we...

With the explosive growth of video applications over the packet switched networks, many approaches have been proposed to stream video effectively over packet switched, best-effort networks. In our previous work, we proposed a framework with a receiver driven protocol to coordinate simultaneous video streaming from multiple senders to a single receiver in order to achieve higher throughput, and ...
متن کاملPath Diversity with Forward Error Correction (PDF) System for Packet Switched Networks
Packet loss and end-to-end delay limit delay sensitive applications over the best effort packet switched networks such as the Internet. In our previous work, we have shown that substantial reduction in packet loss can be achieved by sending packets at appropriate sending rates to a receiver from multiple senders, using disjoint paths, and by protecting packets with forward error correction. In ...
