Multirate Media Streaming Using Network Coding

چکیده
Multimedia data transfers typically involve large volumes of data. Multirate multicast transmissions using layered source coding are generally used to deliver data streams to heterogeneous receivers. Network coding has been envisioned to increase throughput and deliver higher data rates than conventional source coding or no coding. The paper proposes a polynomial time algorithm for multicast to heterogeneous receivers using network coding. The overall goal of the algorithm is to maximize the aggregate rate to all the receivers. The problem is formulated as a linear programming optimization and solution from this optimization is used to assign linear network codes to all nodes using the Linear Information Flow (LIF) algorithm described in [1]. Empirical evaluation of the proposed solution shows that all receivers can be given a rate equal to their max-flows in all of the simulated instances.

متن کاملNetwork Coding: from Theory to Media Streaming
Network coding has recently emerged as an alternative to traditional routing algorithms in communication systems. In network coding, the network nodes can combine the packets they receive before forwarding them to the neighbouring nodes. Intensive research efforts have demonstrated that such a processing in the network nodes can provide advantages in terms of throughput or robustness. These pot...

Network coding is known to provide increased throughput and reduced delay for networked communications. In this paper we propose a peer-to-peer media streaming system that exploits network coding in order to achieve low start-up delay, high streaming rate, and high resiliency to peers’ and network dynamics, such as ungraceful peer departures, and delays or packet losses. To achieve this objecti...
