Adaptive H.264/MPEG-4 SVC Video Over IEEE 802.16 Broadband Wireless Networks
Overview This paper presents a solution for delivering streaming video-on-demand to subscribers via an 802.16 broadband wireless access network. The solution leverages the forthcoming H.264/AVC Scalable Video Coding (SVC) scheme and a mechanism to perform rate adaptation based on monitoring changes to the amount of flow traffic in the network at any time. A simulation-based approach is used to determine how the system performs in a rural deployment. Results show that the scheme provides high utilization of the wireless access system, at over 96%. Further, it maintains smooth transmission rate for the video applications, and ensures that no interruptions in continuous video playback occur during the streaming session.
