Distortion-based Media-friendly Congestion Control
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes a media-friendly congestion control algorithm suited for multimedia streaming in best-effort networks. The transmission rate computed by this algorithm follows the shape of the transmission rate of a TCP-friendly congestion control, but it considers also the distortion it would create in the stream perceived by the receiver. Based on this predicted distortion, the media-friendly congestion control algorithm alters the TCP-friendly transmission rate so that it minimizes this distortion.

Media- and TCP-Friendly Congestion Control Algorithm for
This paper presents a Mediaand TCP-Friendly Rate-based Congestion Control algorithm (MTFRCC) for scalable video streaming in the Internet. The algorithm integrates two new techniques: (i) the use of a utility-based model for the target system combined with the rate-distortion function as the application utility measure for optimizing the overall video quality; and (ii) a two-timescale approach ...
متن کاملNetwork-adaptive video streaming using multiple description coding and path diversity
This paper presents a TCP-friendly rate allocation algorithm for multiple description coding combined with path diversity. A 3D SPIHT-based multiple description coding is used to generate two independent substreams and each substream is protected with an FEC-based unequal error protection algorithm. In the proposed video streaming framework, two senders simultaneously stream complementary subst...
متن کاملRobust Scalable Video Streaming over Internet with Network-Adaptive Congestion Control and Unequal Loss Protection
Video communication with Quality of Service (QoS) is an important and challenging task. To have QoS provision or guarantee at application level in the current best-effort Internet, congestion control and error control are two effective approaches. In this paper, we propose a new network-adaptive congestion control scheme for scalable video streaming in conjunction with Unequal Loss Protection (...
متن کاملMedia-Aware Rate Control
Streaming media transfers over the Internet are expected to behave in a TCP friendly manner and react appropriately to congestion similar to the way TCP does. However, our work shows that existing “TCPfriendly” protocols are not necessarily “media friendly”. In this paper, we present our findings on the impact of the TFRC protocol on streaming media quality. We propose the MARC (Media Aware Rat...
متن کاملImproving the Start-Up Behaviour of TCP-friendly Media Transmissions
The Internet has built its success story to a large degree on the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). Since TCP still represents the by far most important transport protocol in the current Internet traffic mix, new applications like media streaming need to take into account the social rules implied by TCP’s congestion control algorithms, i.e., they need to behave TCP-friendly. One problem of t...
