Streaming Video over TFRC with Linear Throughput Equation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The TCP-Friendly Rate Control (TFRC) protocol manifests strong equality towards competing TCP or TCPfriendly flows. Although the RFC 3448 suggests that TFRC is suitable for multimedia, this equality is a great disadvantage in the case of transmitting multimedia over the TFRC. The TFRC emulates TCP-like congestion control using the TCP throughput equation. In the paper, we substitute the TCP throughput equation recommended for the TFRC with a linear throughput equation. Simulation results show that the proposed solution is more suitable for multimedia than the equation proposed in RFC 3448. Experiments were carried out using an event-driven ns-2 simulator, developed in U. C. Berkeley.

Extending equation-based congestion control to high-speed and long-distance networks
TCP-friendly rate control (TFRC), an equation-based congestion control protocol, has been a promising alternative to TCP for multimedia streaming applications. However, TFRC using the TCP response function, has the same poor performance as TCP in high-speed and long-distance networks. In this paper, we propose high-speed equation-based rate control (HERC), as an extension of TFRC by replacing t...

Rate control is an important issue in video streaming applications for both wired and wireless networks. The widely accepted rate control method in wired networks, i.e. TCP friendly equation based rate control (TFRC) [1], is known to perform suboptimally in wireless networks. In previous work, we proposed MULTFRC as an end-to-end approach to fully utilize wireless bandwidth, modifying only appl...

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) m...
متن کاملPerformance Enhancement of TFRC in Wireless Networks
The TCP-Friendly Rate Control (TFRC) is used as a streaming media transport protocol. Using the TCP congestion response function and current network conditions, TFRC adjusts its transmission rate to yield the maximum TCP-Friendly throughput when sharing capacity with TCP flows. Since TFRC was designed for wired networks, it does not achieve the maximum TCP-Friendly throughput in multihop ad hoc...
