Media-And TCP-Friendly Congestion Control Algorithm for Scalable Video Streams (Extended Version)

Tags:
tcp - ip

Overview This paper presents a Media- and TCP-Friendly Rate-based Congestion Control algorithm (MTFRCC) for scalable video streaming in the Internet. The algorithm integrates two new techniques, first the use of a utility-based model for the target system combined with the rate-distortion function as the application utility measure for optimizing the overall video quality; and second a two-timescale approach of rate averages (long-term and short-term) to satisfy both media and TCP-friendliness. The paper uses simulations to evaluate the algorithm and compare the results against the state-of-the-art TCP-Friendly Rate Control (TFRC) algorithm. It considers five criteria to assess the MTFRCC algorithm, namely: TCP fairness, responsiveness, aggressiveness, overall video quality, and smoothness of the resulting bit rate.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?
