L-TFRC: an end-to-end congestion control mechanism for video streaming over the Internet

چکیده
Real-time multimedia applications over the Intemet have posed a lot of challenges due to the lack of quality of service (QoS) guarantees, frequent fluctuations in channel bandwidth, and'packet losses. To address these issues, a great deal of research has been done in both video coding and video transmission fields. In this paper we present a Logarithm-based. TCP-Friendly Rate Control (L-TFRC) mechanism, which can estimate the available bandwidth more accurately' and improve the smoothness of the multimedia streaming significantly. We also apply it to a Progressive Fine Granularity Scalable (PFGS)-based video streaming. Both simulations and experiments over the Internet confirm the performance of L-TFRC.

The 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...

With the widespread penetration of broadband accesses, many multimedia applications, such as video surveillance, on-demand video streaming, IPTV and news broadcast are emerging. Since video streaming applications on the Internet generally have very high bandwidth requirements and yet are often unresponsive to network congestion. In order to avoid congestion collapse and improve video quality, t...
متن کاملUsing Quick-Start to enhance TCP-friendly rate control performance in bidirectional satellite networks
In the not so distant future, we envisage an Internet where the biggest share of capacity is used by streaming applications. To avoid congestion collapse from unresponsive flows calls for a robust and ubiquitous end-to-end multimedia congestion control mechanism, such as TCP-friendly rate control (TFRC), which provides fair sharing with the other Internet traffic. This paper therefore analyses ...
متن کاملIP Video Streaming with Fine-Grained TCP-Friendly Rate Adaptation
Video streaming over the Internet is a challenging task since the Internet is a shared environment offering only best effort service. That is, it offers no quality of service and no guarantee of resources in term of (1) bandwidth, (2) transfer delay, (3) delay variation (jitter), and (4) packet losses. Then, network stability and traffic fairness become critical issues. To solve these problems ...

The real-time video traffic often exhibits significant burstiness due to natural variations within and between scenes. Unfortunately, the current best-effort Internet cannot offer sufficient quality of service (QoS) guarantees to streaming videos, which degrades the received picture quality significantly. Therefore, an end-to-end strategy is required for delivering video data over Internet. The...
