Joint Impact of MPEG-2 Encoding Rate and ATM Cell Losses on Video Quality

چکیده
This work addresses the analysis of the end-user perception of CBR MPEG-2 video services transmitted over ATM/AAL5 networks. We first independently study how the perceptual video quality behaves with the constant encoding bit rate (CBR) and the network cell loss ratio (CLR). We then jointly analyze the impact of these two components onto the user-oriented QoS. All the quality assessments are based on a perceptual quality metric, MPQM, which proved to behave consistently with human judgements [1]. We show that, when considering video transmission over lossy networks, there is an optimal bit rate to be determined that maximizes the end-user perception of the service under some given network conditions.

Reliable Transmission of MPEG-2 VBR Video Streams over New Network Adaptation and ATM Adaptation Layers
This paper adresses the transmission of VBR MPEG-2 video streams on top of both Network Adaptation (NAL) and ATM Adaptation Layers (AAL) [1] for real-time multimedia applications. The NAL, speci c to MPEG-2, provides a selective data protection mechanism based on syntactic criteria. The AAL provides a reliable transmission by applying per-cell sequence numbering combined with a selective Forwar...
متن کاملMPEG Video and ATM Network Cell Loss: Analysis and Experimentation
The goal of this paper is to evaluate the effect of ATM network cell loss on the playback quality of transmitted MPEG video. The MPEG format and its susceptibility to data corruption is analyzed to calculate a theoretical statistical data corruption per cell loss measure. Experiments are run using an ATM network simulator with actual MPEG video to measure the effect of cell loss rate and bursti...
متن کاملNew Network and ATM Adaptation Layers for Interactive MPEG-2 Video Communications: A Performance Study Based on Psychophysics
In this paper, we present new Network and ATM Adaptation Layers for interactive MPEG-2 video communications. These layers provide reliable transmission by applying per-cell sequence numbering combined with a selective Forward Error Correction (FEC) mechanism based on Burst Erasure codes. We compare the performance of the proposed scheme with a transmission over AAL5 by simulating the transport ...
متن کاملImpact of ATM traffic control on MPEG-2 video quality
In this paper, a performance study of controlled MPEG-2 video traffic over an ATM network is presented. ATM networks are able to support variable bit rate (VBR) video sources. However, to implement QoS contract enforcement, traffic policers such as a Leaky Bucket need to be incorporated in order to change the VBR characteristics of a video stream. Our study investigates the video quality achiev...
متن کاملPerformance analysis of cell discarding techniques for best effort video communications over ATM networks
With increasing interest in the transmission of audio-visual applications over ATM best effort services, efficient videooriented control mechanisms for improving the video quality in the presence of loss have to be designed. In this paper, we propose and evaluate two new slice-based discard schemes for use with Available Bit Rate and Guaranteed Frame Rate services (e.g. formerly UBR+). The sche...
