AN IMPROVED RATE CONTROL SCHEME FOR ADAPTIVE MOBILE VIDEO STREAMING

Mobile video streaming is a technique that the receiver could continuously view the video content while receiving the data. An interactive framework of mobile video streaming is presented in a practical way. To reduce the effects caused by the fluctuation of wireless network, an adaptive rate control method is proposed for priority process streaming with QoS control. The transmitting data rate adapts to a suitable level according to the network status. Simulation scenario has been created to help analyse the behaviour of adaptive streaming over wireless channel. Both cases with and without the proposed method were examined and the result shows the proposed modal is able to improve the overall performance in cases when the channel conditions fluctuate.
