چکیده

Hybrid FEC/ARQ, which is a mixture of forward error correction (FEC) and automatic repeat request (ARQ), is a well-known technique aiming for packet-loss recovery to guarantee quality of service (QoS) for real-time communications. In this paper, focusing on layered video transmission over wireless network environment, we propose a proactive retransmission scheme for hybrid FEC/ARQ. In the proposed scheme, a receiver host periodically sends probe packets to a sender host in order to check wireless channel state. If the sender host does not receive any probe packet during a pre-specified interval, it regards the wireless channel as being in burst loss state, and it proactively retransmits packets expected to be lost during the burst loss period. The buffer management associated with layered video coding is also taken into consideration. The performance of the proposed scheme is investigated by simulation. Numerical examples show that the proposed scheme transmits packets of the base layer more successfully than the conventional FEC/ARQ. key words: FEC/ARQ hybrid system, layered video transmission, proactive retransmission, buffer management

Network Requirement for Management of Multimedia over Wireless Channel

Wireless channels have a high channel bit error rate and limited bandwidth. The high bit error rate degrades the quality of multimedia transmission, and also increases the buffer size requirement at the client. In this paper, we propose a novel selective retransmission scheme for multimedia transmission over wireless ATM networks using the ABR service. Our objective is to develop a simple cost ...

A New Unequal Error Protection Technique Based on the Mutual Information of the MPEG-4 Video Frames over Wireless Networks

The performance of video transmission over wireless channels is limited by the channel noise. Thus many error resilience tools have been incorporated into the MPEG-4 video compression method. In addition to these tools, the unequal error protection (UEP) technique has been proposed to protect the different parts in an MPEG-4 video packet with different channel coding rates based on the rate...

Low-latency streaming of pre-encoded video using channel-adaptive bitstream assembly

Today’s Internet video streaming systems employ buffering and retransmission to guarantee the correct reception of each packet. This leads to high latency in media delivery. In this paper, we present an efficient low-latency Internet video streaming system that does not require retransmission of lost packets. We pre-store multiple representations of certain frames on the server such that a repr...

Applying Multi-Connection Video Streaming to WiMAX Broadband Wireless

Streaming a single video over multiple TCPFriendly Rate Control (TFRC) connections is a way of separately coping with both wireless channel losses and traffic congestion, without the need for cross-layer intervention or retransmission delay at the data-link layer. At the same time, the wireless channel is properly utilized, as throughput improves with an increasing number of connections. Nevert...
