چکیده
This project is supported by DARPA NMS Grant: 8922385. Abstract-This paper presents a cross-layer feedback control scheme for video communications over unstructured mobile networks for tactical operations. A peer-to-peer mobile ad-hoc network has been considered for the experimental testbed. Since ad-hoc networks can suffer greatly from heavy packet loss, in a multihop transmission we have considered a number of protection schemes to maximize the perceived quality of the video signal. In particular, we developed a rate control as well as a packet recovery scheme based on the network characteristics derived from the underlying ad-hoc routing protocol. In addition, to further enhance the quality of service, a redundant packet transmission scheme is presented for lossy recovery of the missing packets.

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...

Introduction: Under best effort ad-hoc network environments where the routing and channel characteristics are expected to vary dynamically (e.g. mobility conditions), providing reliable multimedia services is becoming a challenge. A crucial factor affecting ad-hoc channel performance is the deterioration of the network throughput performance as the number of transmission hops increases [1]. Thi...
