A statistical method of packet loss type discrimination in wired-wireless networks
Min Kyu Park, KyungChul Sihn, Junho Jeong · 2006
We propose a novel method of packet loss type discrimination at the receiver in the network which includes error-prone wireless link. Former studies using receiver-side’s inter-arrival time make many mistakes when there are several streams on the network simultaneously. Our approach is based on statistical value of inter-arrival time of received packets, and is different from existing ones that only exploit current behavior of network. In simulation result, we show that our scheme is more accurate than the other scheme based on inter-arrival time for both cases that a single stream exists and that multiple streams exist in the network. Our scheme can be used for conventional TCP and TFRC congestion control mechanism as well as in-home AV streaming though wireless link.
