A simulation study of delivery of streaming video on-demand via IEEE 802.16 based technologies is described. A number of scenarios are simulated which are representative of rural area deployments of such technologies. The study finds that IEEE 802.16 can support up to 9/10 simultaneous users streaming typical cinematic video content in CIF resolution, 24 frames/s, at average rates of around 750 kbps. Further, the study demonstrates the utility of H.264/AVC Scalable Video Coding (SVC) and a buffer-based congestion control algorithm in an adaptive video streaming solution.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
