Abstract
In the wireless network the congestion and delay occurs mainly when there are too many packets for the network to process or the sender transmits more packets than the receiver can accept. The congestion and delay is the reason of packet loss which degrades the performance of multimedia streaming. This paper proposes a novel transmission rate monitoring-based optimization mechanism to optimize packet loss and to improve QoS. The proposed scheme is based on the trade-off relationship between transmission rate monitoring and overhead monitoring. For this purpose this paper processes a source rate control-based optimization which optimizes congestion and delay. Performance evaluated RED, TFRC, and the proposed mechanism. The simulation results show that the proposed mechanism is more efficient than REC(Random Early Detection) mechanism and TFRC(TCP-friendly Rate Control) mechanism in packet loss rate, throughput rate, and average response rate.
