Experience with Implementation of Multi-Party Video-Conferencing Application over Packet Networks

چکیده
Increased speed of workstations and networks have made interactive multimedia communications between workstations across packet-switched networks possible. Transmission of real-time multimedia data over such networks has its limitations and problems. The basic problem pertaining to transmission of audio is synchronization whereas video coding is the main problem for video transmission. ALF and RTP provide a well deened framework for real-time multimedia communication over packet-switched networks. We develop a multi-party video-conferencing application, called VidZ, based on the "composable tools" approach which is extendable and provides for re-usability of the tools. In this paper, we provide an overview of the issues involved in transmission of real-time audio and video over packet-switched networks, and relate our experience in the implementation of such an application.

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...
متن کاملMulti-User Video Streaming Using Unequal Error Protection Network Coding in Wireless Networks
In this article, we investigate a multi-user video streaming system applying unequal error protection (UEP) network coding (NC) for simultaneous real-time exchange of scalable video streams among multiple users. We focus on a simple wireless scenario where users exchange encoded data packets over a common central network node (e.g., a base station or an access point) that aims to capture the fu...

As the popularity of multi-functional communication devices grows, traditional audio conferencing now may involve heterogeneous teleconferencing devices, including POTS phone, VoIP phones, dualmode smart phones, and so on. During a multi-party audio conference involving heterogeneous devices, it is possible that a video conference is held concurrently involving a subset of devices capable of pr...
متن کاملMeasurement Study of Multi-party Video Conferencing
More and more free multi-party video conferencing applications are readily available over the Internet and both Server-to-Client (S/C) or Peer-to-Peer (P2P) technologies are used. Investigating their mechanisms, analyzing their system performance, and measuring their quality are important objectives for researchers, developers and end users. In this paper, we take four representative video conf...
متن کاملThe impact of bandwidth limitations and video resolution size on QoE for WebRTC-based mobile multi-party video conferencing
Multi-party video conferencing is a highly delay-sensitive and resource-intensive service. A key challenge faced by service providers is meeting end user Quality of Experience (QoE) requirements given bandwidth limitations, especially in mobile networks. Service adaptation mechanisms may thus be employed to adapt the audiovisual quality so as to meet current network conditions and resource avai...
