  3. Types of wireless multimedia applications • Interactive • VoIP • multimedia conferences • multiplayer games • Streaming • video/audio on demand • broadcast TV/radio • may be cached at various places, including end system • Object retrieval • peer-to-peer • user may be waiting for result • Messaging • store-and-forward (e.g., MMS) • can be batched

  5. Common wired & wireless audio codecs

  6. Audio codecs, cont'd.

  7. Audio codecs • MP3 and AAC: delay > 300 ms  unsuitable for interactive applications • GSM and AMR are speech (voiceband) codecs  3.4 kHz analog designed for circuit networks with non-zero BER • Wideband = split into two bands, code separately  conferencing • AMR is not variable-rate (dependent on speech content) • receiver sends Codec Mode Request (CMR) to request different codec, piggy-backed on reverse direction • trade-off codec vs. error correction

  8. Audio codecs • Typically, have algorithmic look-ahead of about 5 ms  additional delay • G.728 has 0.625 ms look-ahead • AMR complexity: 15-25 MIPS, 5.3 KB RAM original 4 6 8 10 12 14 18 20 22 24 16 G.723.1 G.729 G.729A AMR-NB AMR-WB www.voiceage.com

  9. Audio codecs - silence • Almost all audio codecs support Voice Activity Detection (VAD) + comfort noise (CN) • comfort noise: rough approximation in energy and spectrum  avoid "dead line" effect • G.729B • AMR built-in: CN periodically in Silence Indicator (SID) frames = discontinuous transmission (DTX)  saves battery power • or source controlled rate (SCR)

  10. Audio codecs - silence • silence periods depend on • background noise • word vs. sentence vs. alternate speaker • particularly useful for conferences • small ratio of speakers to participants • avoid additive background noise

  11. Video codecs JPEG common code words  shorter symbols Huffman, arithmetic coding e.g., DCT: spatial  frequency Transform, Quantization, Zig- Zag Scan & Run- Length Encoding Motion Estimation & Compensation Symbol Encoder Frames of Digital Video Bit Stream predict current frame from previous Quantization changes representation size for each symbol adjust rate/quality trade-off Run-length encoding: long runs of zeros  run-length symbol courtesy M. Khansari MPEG, H.26x

  14. Delay requirements • In many cases, channel is delay constrained: • ARQ mechanisms • FEC • low bandwidths • ITU G.114 Recommendation: • 0..150 ms one way delay: acceptable to most users • 150..400 ms: acceptable with impairments • Other limits: • telnet/ssh limit ~ 100-200 ms [Shneiderman 1984, Long 1976]? • reaction time 1-2 s for human in loop [Miller 1968]: • web browser response • VCR control for streaming media • ringback delay for call setup • can often be bridged by application design

  18. 802.11 delay • 802.11b: 192 bit PHY headers  192 µs (sent at 1 Mb/s) • 802.11a: 60 µs • three MAC modes: • DCF • DCF + RTS • PCF: AP-mode only

  22. 802.11b channel access delay Köpsel/Wolisz • 12 mobile data nodes, 4 mobile with on/off audio • 6 Mb/s load

  27. Metric of VoIP quality • Mean Opinion Score (MOS) [ITU P.830] • Obtained via human-based listening tests • Listening (MOS) vs. conversational (MOSc)

  28. FEC and IP header overhead • An (n,k) FEC code has (n-k)/k overhead • Typical IP/UDP/RTP header is 40 bytes

  29. Predicting MOS in VoIP • The E-model: an alternative to human-based MOS estimation • Do need a first-time calibration from an existing human MOS-loss curve • In VoIP, the E-model simplifies to two main factors: loss (Ie) and delay (Id) • A gross score R is computed and translated to MOS. • Loss-to-Ie mapping is codec-dependent and calibrated

  30. Predicting MOS in VoIP, contd • Example mappings • From loss and delay to their impairment scores and to MOS

  31. Predicting MOS under FEC • Compute final loss probability pf after FEC [Frossard 2001] • Bursty loss reduces FEC performance • Increasing the packet interval T makes FEC more efficient under bursty loss [Jiang 2002] • Plug pf into the calibrated loss-to-Ie mapping • FEC delay is n*T for an (n,k) code • Compute R value and translate to MOS

  32. Quality Evaluation of FEC vs. Codec Robustness • Codecs under evaluation • iLBC: a recent loss-robust codec proposed in IETF; frame-independent coding • G.729: a near toll quality ITU codec • G.723.1: an ITU codec with even lower bit-rate, but also slightly lower quality. • Utilize MOS curves from IETF presentations for FEC MOS estimation • Assume some loss burstiness (conditional loss probability of 30%) • Default packet interval T = 30ms

  33. G.729+(5,3) FEC vs. iLBC • Ignoring delay effect, a larger T improves FEC efficiency and its quality • When considering delay, however, using a 60ms interval is overkill, due to higher FEC delay (5*60 = 300ms)

  34. G.729+(5,2) vs. iLBC+(3,2) • When iLBC also uses FEC, and still keeping similar gross bit-rate • G.729 still better, except for low loss conditions when considering delay

  35. G.729+(7,2) vs. iLBC+(4,2) • Too much FEC redundancy (e.g., for G.729)  very long FEC block and delay  not always a good idea • iLBC wins in this case, when considering delay

  36. G.729+(3,1) vs. iLBC+(4,2) • Using less FEC redundancy may actually help, if the FEC block is shorter • Now G.729 performs similar to iLBC

  37. Comparison with G.723.1 • MOS(G.723.1) < MOS(iLBC) at zero loss  iLBC dominates more low loss areas compared with G.729, whether delay is considered or not

  38. G.723.1+(3,1) vs. iLBC+(3,2) • iLBC is still better for low loss • G.723.1 wins for higher loss

  39. G.723.1+(4,1) vs. iLBC+(4,2) • iLBC dominates in this case whether delay is considered or not, • (4,2) code already suffices for iLBC • (4,1) code’s performance essentially “saturates”

  40. The best of both worlds • Observations, when considering delay: • iLBC is usually preferred in low loss conditions • G.729 or G.723.1 + FEC better for high loss • Example: max bandwidth 14 kb/s • Consider delay impairment (use MOSc)

  41. Max Bandwidth: 21-28 kb/s

  42. Effect of max bandwidth on achievable quality • 14 to 21 kb/s: significant improvement in MOSc • From 21 to 28 kb/s: marginal change due to increasing delay impairment by FEC

  43. UMTS and 3G wireless • Staged roll-out with "vintages"  releases: • Release 3 ("1999")  GPRS data services • Multimedia messaging service (MMS) = SMS successor ~ MIME email • RAN via evolved CDMA • Release 4: March 2001 • Release 5: March-June 2002 • Release 6: June 2003  all-IP network • Main future new features (affecting packet services): • All-IP transport in the Radio Access and Core Networks • Enhancements of services and service management • High-speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) • Introduces additional downlink channels: • High-Speed Downlink Shared Channel (HS-DSCH) • Shared Control Channels for HS-DSCH

  44. UMTS • Follow-on to GSM, but WCDMA physical layer • new ($$$) spectrum around 2 GHz • radio transmission modes: • frequency division duplex (FDD): 2 x 60 MHz • time division duplex (TDD): 15 + 20 MHz • Chip rate 3.84 Mcps  channel bandwidth 4.4 – 5 MHz

  45. cdma2000 1X (1.25 MHz) cdma2000 3X (5 MHz) 1G-3G air interface 1G 2G “2.5G” 3G/ IMT-2000 Capable Existing Spectrum New Spectrum Analog AMPS IS-95-A/ cdmaOne IS-95-B/ cdmaOne 1XEV DO: HDR (1.25 MHz) IS-136 TDMA 136 HS EDGE TACS GSM GPRS EDGE GSM WCDMA HSCSD Ramjee

  46. The mysterious 4G • Fixes everything that's wrong with 3G  • Convergence to IP model: treat radio access as link layer that carries IP(v6) packets • not necessarily new radio channel • no new spectrum available • all-IP radio access network (RAN) • common mobility management • AAA and roaming • user identifiers • roaming across wired networks

  47. UMTS – 3GPP and 3GGP2 • Divided regionally/historically: • both from ITU IMT-2000 initiative • GSM  3GPP (ETSI) = WCDMA • US (CDMA)  3gpp2 (TIA) = CDMA2000 • 3GPP2: different PHY, but similar applications (not completely specified) • cdma2000
