Buffer-Driven Rate Control and Packet Distribution for Real-Time Videos in Heterogeneous Wireless Networks.
IEEE ACCESS(2019)
摘要
Video transmission bandwidth can be substantially increased by concurrent transmission through multiple radio interfaces introduced by heterogeneous wireless networks. However, delivering high-quality real-time videos with stringent end-to-end delay constraints is still challenging due to the time-varying multipath channel status. Thus, to integrate available multipath bandwidth and guarantee low end-to-end delay, this paper investigates a real-time concurrent multipath video transmission scheme in heterogeneous access networks. First, we present a multipath buffer analysis model (MBAM) to derive the lower and upper bounds of the target video frame bits. Second, given the low-latency and received video quality smoothness, we propose a buffer-driven rate control and packet distribution (BRCPD) algorithm aided by frame-level rate control and multipath transmission buffer awareness based on MBAM. Finally, we implement the proposed application-layer solution BRCPD algorithm in a real-world testbed. The experiment results verify that different from existing multipath video transmission schemes, the proposed algorithm is able to leverage the MBAM-based frame-level rate control to guarantee the target low end-to-end delay. In particular, the BRCPD algorithm is able to guarantee an overdue loss rate of less than 5% under strictly limited delay constraints (250 ms) in the real-world testbed.
