End-to-end Differentiations of Congestion and Wireless Losses

Abstract protocols for networks with either backbone or last-hop wireless links. As our basic video transport protocol, we use UDP in conjunction with a congestion control mechanism extended with an LDA. For congestion control, we use the TCP-Friendly Rate Control (TFRC) algorithm. We extend TFRC to use an LDA when a connection uses at least […]


A hybrid reservation/contention-based MAC for video streaming over wireless networks

Abstract To reserve or not for bursty video traffic over wireless access networks has been a long-debated issue. For uplink transmissions in infrastructure-based wireless networks and peer-to-peer transmissions in mesh or ad-hoc networks, reservation can ensure the Quality-of-Service (QoS) provisioning at the cost of a lower degree of resource utilization. Contention-based Medium Access Control (MAC) […]
