Supporting video streaming over multi-hop wireless networks is particularly challenging due to the time-varying and error-prone characteristics of the wireless channel. In this paper, we propose a joint optimization scheme for video streaming over multi-hop wireless networks. Our coding scheme, called Joint Source/Network Coding (JSNC), combines source coding and network coding to maximize the video quality under the limited wireless resources and coding constraints. JSNC segments the streaming data into generations at the source node and exploits the intra-session coding on both the source and the intermediate nodes. The size of the generation and the level of redundancy influence the streaming performance significantly and need to be determined carefully. We formulate the problem as an optimization problem with the objective of minimizing the end-to-end distortion by jointly considering the generation size and the coding redundancy. The simulation results demonstrate that, with the appropriate generation size and coding redundancy, the JSNC scheme can achieve an optimal performance for video streaming over multi-hop wireless networks.

Multi-hop wireless mesh networks (WMNs) suffer from significant packet losses due to insufficient available bandwidth and high channel error probability. To conquer packet losses, end-to-end (E2E) error control schemes have been proposed. However, in WMNs, E2E error control schemes are not effective in adapting to the time-varying network condition due to large delay. Thus, in this paper, we propose a network-adaptive error control for video streaming over WMNs that flexibly operates E2E and hop-by-hop (HbH) error control according to network condition. Moreover, to provide lightweight support at intermediate nodes for HbH error control, we use path-partition-based adaptation. To verify the proposed scheme, we implement it and evaluate its transport performance through MPEG-2 video streaming over a real IEEE 802.11a-based WMN testbed.

무선멀티홉네트워크(WMNs)는 무선 채널의 페이딩 및 가변적인 대역폭에 의해 패킷 손실 및 전송 지연에 의해 비디오 스트리밍의 성능이 저하된다. 고품질의 비디오 스트리밍의 성능을 보장하기 위해 FEC (Forward Error Correction) 기반의 네트워크 적응적인 비디오 스트리밍 기법이 제안되어 왔다. 종단간 FEC와 홉간의 FEC 기법 등을 사용하는 기존 네트워크 적응 기법들은 제한적인 모니터링 정보에 기반 하므로 스트리밍 경로의 전체적인 상태를 반영하기 힘들다. 본 논문에서는 WMNs 환경에서 모니터링 기반의 네트워크 적응적 FEC 코디네이션을 이용하여 모니터링을 통해 경로 전체의 네트워크 상태를 판별한 후 적응적으로 특정 홉으로부터 종단까지 제어하는 H2E(hop-to-end) FEC 기법을 제안한다. H2E-FEC 기법은 FEC의 시작노드와 중복도(redundancy)를 네트워크 상태에 따라 적절히 결정해야 하며, 이를 위해 중앙집중형 코디네이터를 활용해 획득한 정확한 모니터링 정보를 바탕으로 H2E-FEC를 위한 코디네이션을 적용한다. 제안된 기법은 OMF(Orbit Measurement Framework) 기반의 WMN 테스트베드에서 다수의 실험을 통해 검증하며, 강압적인 네트워크 환경에서 H2E-FEC가 기존의 E2E 및 HbH-FEC 기법에 비해 패킷 복구율 및 전송 지연 시간에 의한 복잡성에서 높은 성능을 나타낸다. 구축된 테스트베드 환경에서 코디네이터를 적용한 후 E2E-FEC 기법에 비해 패킷 복구율이 약 17% 향상됨을 보인다.

With the increasing number of the wireless and mobile networks, the way that people use the Internet has changed substantively. Wireless multimedia services, such as wireless video streaming, mobile video game, and mobile voice over IP, will become the main applications of the future wireless Internet. To accommodate the growing volume of wireless data traffic and multimedia services, cognitive radio (CR) and Information-Centric Network (ICN) have been proposed to maximize the utilization of wireless spectrum and improve the network performance. Although CR and ICN have high potential significance for the future wireless Internet, few studies have been conducted on collaborative operations of CR and ICN. Due to the lack of infrastructure support in multi-hop ad hoc CR networks, the problem is more challenging for video streaming services. In this paper, we propose a Cross-layer Video Streaming Mechanism (CLISM) for Cognitive Radio Ad Hoc Information Centric Networks (CRAH-ICNs). The CLISM included two distributed schemes which are designed for the forwarding nodes and receiving nodes in CRAH-ICNs. With the cross-layer approach, the CLISM is able to self-adapt the variation of the link conditions without the central network controller. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed CLISM efficiently adjust video transmission policy under various network conditions.

Video is principal information that facilitates commander's immediate command decision. Due to fading characteristics of radio link, however, it is difficult to stably transmit video in a multi-hop wireless environment. In this paper, we propose a MANET structure composed of a link adaptive routing protocol and a TDMA MAC protocol to stably transmit video traffic in a ultra-narrowband video streaming network. The routing protocol can adapt to link state change and select a stable route. The TDMA protocol enables collision-free video transmission to a destination using multi-hop dynamic resource allocation. As a result of simulation, the proposed MANET structure shows better video transmission performance than proposed MANET structure without link quality adaption, AODV with CSMA/CA, and OLSR with CSMA/CA structures.
