Multi-connection TFRC video streaming in a WiMAX environment
Salah Saleh Al-Majeed, Martin Fleury · 2010
Dedicated WiMAX multimedia services are proposed for areas that lack networked infrastructure. This paper proposes multi-connection uplink video streaming for mobile WiMAX. Establishing multiple TFRC connections for a single video stream has emerged as a promising lightweight way of coping with wireless channel losses in a congestion-controlled tandem network. This study shows the impact (in terms of video quality and latency) on multi-connection streaming performance in the presence of burst errors on the wireless link. It also establishes how many connections are feasible.
