TCP-Friendly Internet Video With Smooth and Fast Rate Adaptation and Network-Aware Error Control
Overview A solution for Internet video streaming with two major components is examined in this paper. First, a new rate adaptation mechanism called the Smooth and Fast Rate Adaptation Mechanism (SFRAM) is developed based on the TCP-throughput equation. SFRAM not only achieves TCP-friendliness but also provides a smooth and fast rate adaptation for transmitted video. By adaptively averaging measurements such as the Round Trip Time (RTT) and the packet loss rate over a suitable window, SFRAM mitigates fluctuation that is undesirable for video transmission. The adopted weighting scheme enables the response in a fast manner only for distinct network variations so that the overall network utilization is improved while sustaining end-to-end video quality.
