Abstract
In this paper we propose a TFRC(TCP Friendly Rate Control) which guarantees a minimum rate in order to improve the efficiency of the previous TFRC which cannot distinguish congestion losses and wireless losses and decreases throughput both in wired and wireless networks. This TFRC technique is able to guarantee a minimum rate for video by restricting a loss event rate with packet loss probability about existing TFRC and constraining a rate reduction from the feedback timeout. When we experimented both the existing TFRC and the new one with TCP in the same network, we found that the latter is better than the former. Consequently, it shows that the proposed TFRC can improve video streaming quality using a guaranteed minimum transmission rate.
