ABSTRACT
In this paper, we propose a practical implementation of network-adaptive HD (high definition) MPEG-2 streaming using frame-based prioritized packetization over the IEEE 802.11a WLAN (wireless local area network). The proposed adaptive streaming system nicely provides frame-based prioritized packetization by developing a real-time MPEG-2 TS (transport stream) parsing tool. It then dynamically performs priority-based droppings of packets according to the network status observed by end-to-end monitoring. The implemented system thus can mitigate the long-term fluctuations of time-varying channel only with negligible delays. Evaluation results over an IEEE 802.11a WLAN testbed are provided to verify the intended QoS adaptation capability.

Guaranteeing per Station and Per Flow Fairness of Downstream and Upstream Flows over IEEE 802.11 WLAN
ICIMT '09: Proceedings of the 2009 International Conference on Information and Multimedia TechnologyDistributed Coordination Function (DCF) in IEEE 802.11 WLANs cannot guarantee both per-station and per-flow fairness among wireless stations. Several solutions to this problem have been proposed. However, per-flow fairness causes per-station unfairness ...
Efficient Bonded Channel Assignment in IEEE 802.11 WLAN with Heterogeneous Clients
MoMM 2015: Proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Advances in Mobile Computing and MultimediaChannel bonding allows IEEE 802.11n clients to operate at a maximum rate of 300 Mbps which can significantly improve the network throughput. But at the same time it increases the co-channel interference to the nearby APs leading to a degradation of ...
A transient reliability model of RTP video streaming over WLAN
PM2HW2N '12: Proceedings of the 7th ACM workshop on Performance monitoring and measurement of heterogeneous wireless and wired networksReliable real time wireless video streaming is a network application with high bandwidth and low delay/jitter requirements. IEEE 802.11e helps address such QoS requirements, e.g. by prioritising video over background traffic. The reliability problem ...
