Enhancing Video Streaming Delivery Over Wired/Wireless Networks

Tags:
tcp - ip

Overview Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is basically designed to provide a reliable service for wired Internet. The Additive Increase Multiplicative Decrease (AIMD) algorithm, incorporated into standard TCP versions, achieves stability and converges to fairness when the demand of competing flows exceeds the channel bandwidth. However, most existing TCP mechanisms do not satisfy the need for universal functionality in heterogeneous wired/wireless environments, since they do not flexibly adjust the rate and pattern of the transmitted multimedia streams to the characteristics of the end-to-end network path.

Ipv6: An acronym to shake the networked world

The so-called 'air interface' is, however, more easily compromised than a fixed wired network. The reasons are the new mobile technologies: GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) and subsequently UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System).

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?
