Media Streaming Performance in a Portable Wireless Classroom Network

چکیده
This paper presents empirical measurements of wireless media streaming traffic in an IEEE 802.11b wireless ad hoc network. The results show that the IEEE 802.11b WLAN can support up to 8 clients with good media streaming quality, with each client receiving a separate 400 kbps video stream and 128 kbps audio stream. With 9 clients, the WLAN is overloaded, and performance degrades for all clients. Finally, we demonstrate a “bad apple” phenomenon in wireless ad hoc networks, wherein a single client with poor wireless connectivity disrupts the media streaming quality for all clients sharing the WLAN.

متن کاملThe Feedback Based Mechanism for Video Streaming Over Multipath Ad Hoc Networks
Ad hoc networks are multi-hop wireless networks without a pre-installed infrastructure. Such networks are widely used in military applications and in emergency situations as they permit the establishment of a communication network at very short notice with a very low cost. Video is very sensitive for packet loss and wireless ad-hoc networks are error prone due to node mobility and weak links. H...
