Abstract
In this paper, we propose an algorithm called Application-rate Aware and TCP friendly Rate Control Algorithm (AATFRC) for video streams. AATFRC algorithm takes the encoded rate of the video streams into account, while being TCP friendly in the long-term. Experimental results show that our proposed AATFRC algorithm is superior to TCP-friendly Rate Control Algorithm (TFRC) in terms of a) little delay to reach the minimum rate of the application during the slow start; b) the assurance of minimum application quality during the short-term congestions; c) the variation of the sending rate is not bound to the TCP response function but consistent with the encoded application rate.
