Cross-Layer Optimization of OFDM Transmission Systems for MPEG-4 Video Streaming
Overview This paper studies the performance of a combined link- and physical-layer approach for the downlink of a dynamic OFDM-FDMA transmission system delivering MPEG-4 video streams. The approach consists of three different mechanisms - queue management, resource allocation, and subcarrier assignment - which can be used separately as well as in combination. This cross-layer approach allows to utilize channel-related knowledge and semantic information of the streams' packets. Consecutively adding these mechanisms to the studied system, the authors judge their respective impact on system performance.
