PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS AND PLAYOUT TIME ESTIMATION FOR MULTIMEDIA OVER INTERNET PROTOCOL (MOIP)
This thesis presents the algorithms to estimate the minimum buffering delay and playout delay. The possibility to use the buffering delay estimation in Multimedia Application at the receiver site will reduce the effect of jitter and will also optimize the packet loss. The increasing of Traffic of loaded generator will influence the network behaviour and affect to transmission data using video conferencing netmeeting application over the network connectio
Congestion Control for Network-Aware Telehaptic Communication
Telehaptic applications involve delay-sensitive multimedia communication
between remote locations with distinct Quality of Service (QoS) requirements
for different media components. These QoS constraints pose a variety of
challenges, especially when the communication occurs over a shared network,
with unknown and time-varying cross-traffic. In this work, we propose a
transport layer congestion control protocol for telehaptic applications
operating over shared networks, termed as dynamic packetization module (DPM).
DPM is a lossless, network-aware protocol which tunes the telehaptic
packetization rate based on the level of congestion in the network. To monitor
the network congestion, we devise a novel network feedback module, which
communicates the end-to-end delays encountered by the telehaptic packets to the
respective transmitters with negligible overhead. Via extensive simulations, we
show that DPM meets the QoS requirements of telehaptic applications over a wide
range of network cross-traffic conditions. We also report qualitative results
of a real-time telepottery experiment with several human subjects, which reveal
that DPM preserves the quality of telehaptic activity even under heavily
congested network scenarios. Finally, we compare the performance of DPM with
several previously proposed telehaptic communication protocols and demonstrate
that DPM outperforms these protocols.Comment: 25 pages, 19 figure
Integrated Support for Handoff Management and Context-Awareness in Heterogeneous Wireless Networks
The overwhelming success of mobile devices and wireless
communications is stressing the need for the development of
mobility-aware services. Device mobility requires services
adapting their behavior to sudden context changes and being
aware of handoffs, which introduce unpredictable delays and
intermittent discontinuities. Heterogeneity of wireless
technologies (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 3G) complicates the situation,
since a different treatment of context-awareness and handoffs is
required for each solution. This paper presents a middleware
architecture designed to ease mobility-aware service
development. The architecture hides technology-specific
mechanisms and offers a set of facilities for context awareness
and handoff management. The architecture prototype works with
Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, which today represent two of the most
widespread wireless technologies. In addition, the paper discusses
motivations and design details in the challenging context of
mobile multimedia streaming applications
VOIP WITH ADAPTIVE RATE IN MULTI- TRANSMISSION RATE WIRELESS LANS
“Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)” is a popular communication technology that plays a vital role in term of cost reduction and flexibility. However, like any emerging technology, there are still some issues with VoIP, namely providing good Quality of Service (QoS), capacity consideration and providing security. This study focuses on the QoS issue of VoIP, specifically in “Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN)”.
IEEE 802.11 is the most popular standard of wireless LANs and it offers different transmission rates for wireless channels. Different transmission rates are associated with varying available bandwidth that shall influence the transmission of VoIP traffic
Notes on the use of RTP for shared workspace applications
The Real-time Transport Protocol, RTP, has become the dominant protocol for streaming audio and video in IP-based environments. A number of proposals have been made which attempt to build on this success and apply RTP for shared workspace applications. We discuss the needs of such applications and the features provided by RTP, with an aim to showing why RTP is not appropriate for such uses
