In this paper, some performance characteristics of multimedia traffic for mobile ad-hoc networks is studied with simulations. Synthetic streaming video is considered as the multimedia traffic for MPEG-coded video in the simulation. The synthetic video stream is generated with a video stream generation algorithm. The algorithm generate VBR traffics for MPEG video streams with special predefined GOP(group of pictures) patterns that is consisted of a sequence of I(intra-coded), P(predicted-coded) and B(bidirectional-coded) frames. The synthetic VBR streams is transmitted through UDP protocol with on-demand mobile ad-hoc network routing protocols like as AODV and DSR. And performances for video streams through mobile ad-hoc networks is evaluated, the throughputs is compared between data and video traffics.
