Abstract

In this paper, a dynamic TCP-friendly rate control (TFRC) is proposed to adjust the coding rates according to the channel characteristics of the wireless-to-wired network consisting of wireless first-hop channel. To avoid the throughput degradation of multimedia flows traveling through wireless lint the proposed rate control system employs a new wireless loss differentiation algorithm (LDA) using packet loss statistics. This method can produce the TCP-friendly rates while sharing the backbone bandwidth with TCP flows over the wireless-to-wired network. Experimental results show that the proposed rate control system can eliminate the effect of wireless losses in flow control of TFRC and substantially reduce the abrupt quality degradation of the video streaming caused by the unreliable wireless link status.

본 논문에서는 first-hop 무선 채널을 갖는 무-유선망에서 채널 특성에 따라 코딩 비트율을 조절할 수 있는 동적 TCP-friendly 비트율 제어방식 (TFRC)을 제안한다. 제안되는 비트율 제어 기법은 무선망을 통해 전송되는 멀티미디어 플로우의 QoS 성능 저하 현상을 피하기 위해 패킷 손실 통계자료를 이용한 새로운 무선 손실 구별 알고리즘을 사용하고 있다. 이 알고리즘은 무-유선망에서 TCP 플로우와 함께 백본 대역폭을 공유하는 동안 TCP-friendly하도록 비트율을 생성한다. 실험 결과를 통해 제안하는 비트율 제어방식의 시스템은 TFRC 흐름 제어에서 무선 손실의 영향을 제거하고 신뢰성이 낮은 무선 링크에 의해서 발생되는 비디오 스트림의 갑작스런 품질 저하 현상을 상당히 줄일 수 있음을 알 수 있다.
