Proxy-Based TCP-Friendly Streaming Over Mobile Networks

Tags:
tcp - ip

Overview Mobile media streaming is envisioned to become an important service over packet-switched 2.5G and 3G wireless networks. At the same time, TCP-friendly rate-adaptation behavior for streaming will become an important IETF requirement. This paper investigates TCP-friendly on-demand streaming over wired and wireless links. The paper considers two approaches for achieving TCP-friendliness: first, by tunneling RTP packets over TCP and secondly by employing an RTP server rate control which does not exceed a variable rate constraint derived from the recently developed TFRC protocol. To allow a reasonable fair comparison between TCP and TFRC, the paper assumes a simple retransmission mechanism on top of TFRC.
