ABSTRACT
This paper considers the use of Automatic Request Request (ARQ) schemes in distributed media streaming. We analytically model three different ARQ schemes and derive effective packet loss rate and burst length of these schemes. Our model is verified through simulations and experiments over wide-area network. Our results show that retransmitting lost packet from senders other than the one who lost the packet could reduce effective loss rate and burst length. We also find that ARQ with a dedicated retransmitter outperforms other schemes if the retransmitter is chosen appropriately.

Performance Improvement in Broadband Networks Using Forward Error Correction for Lost Packet Recovery
In this paper we analyze and provide simulation results for the use of forward error control (FEC) to improve the delay-throughput performance of packetized high-speed networks. The major source of errors in high-speed networks is expected to be buffer ...
Ant colony optimization based packet scheduler for peer-to-peer video streaming
This letter describes a new packet scheduling algorithm for enhancing the quality of distributed peer-to-peer video streaming. The algorithm was designed for when streaming server peers use error recovery such as automatic-repeat-request (ARQ) rather ...
