Adaptive QoS control for video transmission over band-limited networks

Abstract

Consumers increasingly demand high quality of service (QoS) for multimedia applications. Application-layer QoS control mechanisms that do not make specific references to coding semantics tend to provide the most robust solutions for delivery of multimedia data over bandlimited networks. We propose an adaptive and robust QoS algorithm for bandlimited networks that integrates explicit receiver-sender rate control, rate shaping with multiple quantization parameters and adaptive FEC.
