  1. Congestion Control and Adaptive Retransmission for Multimedia Streaming over Wireless Networks Kamal Singh, Árpád Huszák, David Ros, César Viho and Jeney Gábor IRISA/INRIA, Rennes, France BUTE, Budapest, Hungary

  2. Agenda • Overview • Congestion control for Video Flows • Adaptive retransmissions and wireless loss estimation • Results • Conclusion and Future Work

  3. Agenda • Overview • Congestion control for Video Flows • Adaptive retransmissions and wireless loss estimation • Results • Conclusion and Future Work

  4. Overview: Next Generation Wireless Network “Hotspots” with high bandwidth Video Streaming anywhere in the cell Users of Voice, TCP, …

  5. Overview: Wireless Problems in the context of Video Streaming • Problems due to the use of IP • IP doesn’t support real time streaming requirements • Problems due to radio conditions • Scarce and time varying bandwidth • Congestion, wireless losses & large delay

  6. Overview: Video Streaming constraints • Video Streaming • Delay & Jitter • Bandwidth, Congestion • Packet loss

  7. Overview: Video Streaming … • Video Streaming • Underflow • No Playout • Packet losses will cause • quality distortion

  8. Agenda • Overview • Congestion control for Video Flows • Adaptive retransmissions and wireless loss estimation • Results • Conclusion and Future Work

  9. Congestion Control for Video Flows • Motivation • Variable bandwidth, delay … • Congestion, packet losses How can applications adapt to the network conditions?

  10. Existing Schemes • Congestion control for video • TCP: Retransmissions, rate oscillations, … • TFRC [Floyd 2000] • Sending Rate is calculated by a TCP model • Better Rate Stability • TCP Friendly

  11. Problems: Wireless Losses • Problem: Two types of losses in wireless Networks • Packet drops due to congestion • Packet drops due to bad channel conditions Wireless network IP Packets IP Queue Router Node B Wireless loss Congestion loss

  12. Problems … • Inefficiency for TCP, TFRC … • Cannot distinguish between these losses. • Reduce their sending rate on loss. • How to distinguish Wireless losses from congestion losses? • Previous Work have used Round Trip Time variations: May not be reliable • ARC [O. B. Akan et al. 04]: Sending Rate (S) is calculated using w : • ARC: How to calculate w ? ,

  13. Differential dropping in the DiffServ Assured Forwarding (Green, Yellow & Red) Video applications mark their packets Wireless Loss Estimation (Background: DiffServ) Increasing Congestion Drop Red packets Drop Red + Yellow packets Rarely drop Green packets I B P B P

  14. Wireless Loss Estimation • Wireless Loss Estimation in DiffServ (WLED) Networks: [VTC 2006] • Red packets are dropped first on congestion • Wireless loss rate (w) is correlated with green loss rate • If loss of yellow packets is not significant • Estimate w for ARC using green loss rate

  15. WLED • WLED: Improves link utilization • There is no change in other properties: • TCP friendliness, loss rate, rate stability • But, works only with DiffServ aware applications WLED TFRC TCP

  16. Agenda • Overview • Congestion control for Video Flows • Adaptive retransmissions and wireless loss estimation • Results • Conclusion and Future Work

  17. Adaptive retransmissions and wireless loss estimation • We improved link utilization in case of wireless losses. • But, lost data still deteriorates the quality! • Solution: We integrate a scheme to retransmit the lost data.

  18. Adaptive retransmissions and wireless loss estimation … • Retransmission Scheme • If packet has the possibility to arrive before its deadline • No congestion  Enables retransmission schemes • Congestion  Disable retransmission • Example Scenario:

  19. Adaptive retransmissions and wireless loss estimation … • Depending on: • Available Bandwidth shown by Congestion Control scheme • Amount of I, P and B frames in video files • Retransmit either • I frames • I + P frames or • All frames • WLED scheme integrated

  20. Adaptive retransmissions and wireless loss estimation : Transport protocol • DCCP (Datagram Congestion Control Protocol) • Sequence numbers • Feedback/ACK vectors • Useful for loss detection • Retransmissions done at the application layer

  21. Adaptive retransmissions and wireless loss estimation : Simulation details • NS2 • Dumbbell topology with 1Mbps of link with 40ms delay • Packet losses simulated in the wireless link • Reference Video: 360kbps “Mother and Daughter” encoded using H.264 • FTP and WWW flows as background

  22. Agenda • Overview • Congestion control for Video Flows • Adaptive retransmissions and wireless loss estimation • Results • Conclusion and Future Work

  23. Key Results • 10 WWW users in background

  24. Key Results … • Wireless loss probability 0.1 and varying WWW users

  25. Agenda • Overview • Congestion control for Video Flows • Adaptive retransmissions and wireless loss estimation • Results • Conclusion and Future Work

  26. Conclusion and Future Work • Used a wireless loss estimation scheme integrated with a retransmission scheme • Obtained better video quality • Future Work • Performance of WLED + retransmission in real network • Congestion control and adaptive retransmission for MPEG4-scalable video codec (SVC)
