Abstract
One of popular applications in the Internet is the multimedia streaming services such as IPTV or You Tube in which supporting quality of service (QoS) is an important issue. One of widely adopted rate control scheme is TCP-friendly rate control (TFRC) which shows comparable performance with TCP in term of throughput and lower variation of throughput over time. On the other hand, devices with multiple interfaces are emerging in the market. However, it has not proposed to exploit multiple interfaces simultaneously for multimedia streaming services with TFRC. In this paper, we propose a multimedia streaming algorithm with TFRC which exploits multiple interfaces to guarantee the quality of service. We show that the proposed scheme shows better performance than those with a single interface in terms of throughput and communication costs.
