Experimental Investigation Of The Effects Of Background Traffic Loads On Streamed Video Over 802.11b Wlans, Tanmoy Debnath, Nicola Cranley, Mark Davis
Experimental Investigation Of The Effects Of Background Traffic Loads On Streamed Video Over 802.11b Wlans, Tanmoy Debnath, Nicola Cranley, Mark Davis
Conference papers
Video is a frame based media and video streaming is often described as “bursty” which has a large impact on the Quality of Service of the video streaming application over WLAN networks. In this paper the impact of background load on the performance of streaming MPEG-4 video with a video server located on the wired network streaming to wireless client is analysed. We experimentally investigate the performance for both uplink and downlink loads. The performance is measured in terms of the key parameters of bit rate, loss rate and mean delay since these are the primary factors that affect the …
The Effects Of Background Traffic On The End-To-End Delay For Video Streaming Applications Over Ieee 802.11b Wlan Networks, Nicola Cranley, Mark Davis
The Effects Of Background Traffic On The End-To-End Delay For Video Streaming Applications Over Ieee 802.11b Wlan Networks, Nicola Cranley, Mark Davis
Conference papers
The bursty nature of video streaming applications is due to the frame-based structure of video and this has an important impact on the resource requirements of the WLAN, affecting its ability to provide Quality of Service (QoS) particularly under heavily loaded conditions. In this paper we analyse this bursty behaviour in depth. We show how each video frame is queued at the AP causing the packet delay to vary in a sawtooth manner that is related to the frame rate, the number of packets per video frame, and the packet size. We infer the maximum background traffic load that can …
The Impact Of Tcp Sliding Window On The Performance Of Ieee 802.11 Wlans, Enrique Roques Gomez, Mark Davis
The Impact Of Tcp Sliding Window On The Performance Of Ieee 802.11 Wlans, Enrique Roques Gomez, Mark Davis
Conference papers
In this paper the TCP sliding window mechanism is experimentally investigated as one of the possible causes of the unfairness often observed as IEEE802.11 wireless LANs. We show how by appropriately sizing the sliding window it is possible to re-introduce fairness into the operation of the WLAN.
Effect Of Free Bandwidth On Voip Performance In 802.11b Wlan Networks, Miroslaw Narbutt, Mark Davis
Effect Of Free Bandwidth On Voip Performance In 802.11b Wlan Networks, Miroslaw Narbutt, Mark Davis
Conference papers
In this paper we experimentally study the relationship between bandwidth utilization in the wireless LAN and the quality of VoIP calls transmitted over the wireless medium. Specifically we evaluate how the amount of free bandwidth decreases as the number of calls increases and how this influences transmission impairments (i.e. delay, loss and jitter) and thus degrades call quality. We show that the amount of free bandwidth is a good indicator for predicting VoIP call quality.
Study Of The Behaviour Of Video Streaming Over Ieee 802.11b Wlan Networks, Nicola Cranley, Mark Davis
Study Of The Behaviour Of Video Streaming Over Ieee 802.11b Wlan Networks, Nicola Cranley, Mark Davis
Conference papers
The performance of video streaming over WLAN networks is not only influenced by the state of the network but also by the encoding configuration parameters of the video stream, such as the video content being streamed, how the vide is encoded and how it is transmitted. In this paper, we analyse the unique delay characteristic of video streaming applications in a WLAN environment. We show that the “burstiness” of video is due to the frame-based nature of encoded video. We show how each video frame is transmitted as a burst of packets that is queued at the Access Point causing …
Experimental Comparison Of Wired Versus Wireless Video Streaming Over Ieee 802.11b Wlans, Tanmoy Debnath, Nicola Cranley, Mark Davis
Experimental Comparison Of Wired Versus Wireless Video Streaming Over Ieee 802.11b Wlans, Tanmoy Debnath, Nicola Cranley, Mark Davis
Conference papers
In this paper the performance of streaming MPEG-4 video with a video server located on the wired network streaming to wireless clients is compared with the performance of a video server located in the wireless network streaming to wireless video clients. We experimentally investigate the performance for a number of concurrent video streams with varying video frame sizes, frame rates and packetisation schemes. The performance is measured in terms of the key parameters of bit rate, loss rate and mean delay. We show how that there is a trade-off for these parameters for a wired and wireless located server. We …
