ABSTRACT
This paper investigates the performance of TCP-Friendly Rate Control (TFRC) to control the transmission rate of scalable video streams when used in a mobile network. The streams are encoded using the Scalable Video Coding (SVC) extension of the H.264/AVC standard. Adding or removing the layers is decided based on the TFRC during varying channel conditions of the mobile network. We conduct simulations in various realistic use cases, evaluate and compare the performance with and without TFRC-based adaptation. The results show significant improvements in terms of lower loss rate, delay, required buffer size and less playback interruption.

Proxy-based TCP-friendly streaming over mobile networks
WOWMOM '02: Proceedings of the 5th ACM international workshop on Wireless mobile multimediaMobile media streaming is envisioned to become an important service over packet-switched 2.5G and 3G wireless networks. At the same time, TCP-friendly rate-adaptation behavior for streaming will become an important IETF requirement. In this paper we ...
TCP-friendly Congestion Control for HighSpeed Network
SAINT '07: Proceedings of the 2007 International Symposium on Applications and the InternetThe currently used TCP congestion control, TCP Reno, has two weaknesses. To solve this TCP Reno drawback, HighSpeed TCP and Scalable TCP were proposed. However, the fairness between these proposed TCP and TCP Reno is not considered, when both ...
