Bandwidth Estimation in Wireless LANs for Multimedia Streaming Services
Overview The popularity of multimedia streaming services via wireless networks presents major challenges in the management of network bandwidth. One challenge is to quickly and precisely estimate the available bandwidth for the decision of streaming rates of layered and scalable multimedia services. Previous works based on wired networks are too burdensome to be applied to multimedia applications in wireless networks. In this paper, a new method, IdleGap, is suggested to estimate the available bandwidth of a wireless LAN based on the information from a low layer in the protocol stack. The authors uses a network simulation tool, NS-2, to evaluate the new method with various range of cross traffic and observation times.
