“…For the secondary queue, the ULP way we have adopted when the network is in congestion is not like the way in [3][4][5]7], which simply abandons P and B-Frame packet, or like the way in [6], which removes totally B-Frame packet but decides whether PFrame packet is to be removed according to 50% probability; instead, here we throw away the B-Frame packet first, then we go to the queue to find P-Frame packet to substitute for transmission. That is, the transmission of queue is not forced to stop, instead, the right to use channel this time is transmitted to another packet of higher priority, this is because in our architecture, P and BFrame belongs to the same queue.…”

The transmission of WLAN could easily suffer from multi-path or noise interference, which in turn leads to packet loss and the subsequent need of retransmission; moreover, these phenomena could easily lead to the decrease in video transmission quality of some delay-sensitive multimedia applications. Therefore, how to improve the video transmission in WLAN thus becomes a very important issue. In this article, a cross-layer design is proposed to improve video transmission over 802.11e WLANs using error and rate joint control. The network condition estimator (NCE) is designed to distinguish network errors caused by congestion or interference at MAC layer. Based on the information provided from application layer and NCE, the packet-selective rate controller (PSRC) and adaptive TXOP error controller (ATEC) are proposed to eliminate the effect caused by network errors and improve video quality. Simulation results reveal that our crosslayer design is capable of reacting to the varying channel condition with less and smoother quality degradation than several distinct cross-layer schemes.

“…This situation easily occurs when people transmit video data. As can be seen from [3][4][5][6][7], it is suitable for using ULP (unequal Loss Protection) method. In other words, packets of higher priority will be transmitted first in order to upgrade the video quality for the receivers.…”

Cross-layer architecture, a new design paradigm in the domain of Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANET), enables knowledge sharing between layers to provide optimization and better Quality of Service (QoS). This paper proposes a design of cross-layer framework between application and MAC and between MAC and transport layer. The joint optimization between application and MAC enables mapping of video frames based on its priority and network traffic load. The MAC and transport layer are jointly optimized to regulate data rate from transport layer based on congestion information of Access Category (AC) queue. The proposed system is compared with Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) and Static Mapping approaches using evaluation criteria, namely Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR), Average End-to-End Delay and Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR). According to the simulation results, it is found that PDR and PSNR of the proposed method are better than that of aforementioned mapping approaches.However, the Average End-to-End Delay is a little bit larger than that of EDCA but less than that of Static approach. Hence, it can be concluded that the proposed method is appropriate for non real-time video streaming applications.

“…The gains in video quality are limited and uncertain because this approach does not make direct link of deadline for each video packet. In [6], authors presented a hybrid design framework for video delivery in which the timebase was considered and used to determine the retransmission count. Because this approach uses fixed timebase constraint for each video frame of a given coding structure, it cannot be made adaptive to the variable wireless network states.…”

One of the most challenging issues in video transmission over wireless networks is to address the rigid time bounded constraint for video delivery. We propose in this paper a deadline-aware transmission framework (DATF) for video over IEEE 802.11e EDCA wireless networks. In this new framework, we estimate the deadline for time bounded video delivery for each packet in queues at MAC layer according to the sequence number of a frame a given video data packet belonging to as well as the current network delay. Then, the MAC layer determines whether a packet should be sent or should be dropped based on the estimated deadline information. To accomplish the scheme of DATF, we propose to modify the mapping scheme in IEEE 802.11e EDCA to facilitate unequal deadline requirement of video packets. Instead of mapping all video packets into class AC_VI, which is defined for video data in IEEE 802.11e EDCA, we differentiate video packets further based on the dependency characteristics of a given frame type. The proposed DATF scheme has been implemented with NS-2 simulation based on the scenario of wired-cum-wireless network architecture. We compare the proposed approach with several competing schemes and the simulation results show that the proposed scheme outperforms these competing schemes in terms of both wireless networking metrics and received video quality.
