Abstract

Mobile Ad hoc NETworks (MANETs) are becoming more essential to wireless communications due to growing popularity of mobile devices. MANETs are also essential in Emergency Response situation where network information flow between deployed units is vital. In such cases voice and video transmission is essential to form a global view of the situation and decide on action. However, MANETs do not seem to effectively support multimedia applications and especially video transmission. In this work we evaluate the use of multiple interfaces and multiple channels for Video Transmission in Emergency Response Ad hoc Networks. We also evaluate the video transmission with rate adaptation. Aim of this paper is to tune multiinterfaces and multi-channels video transmission mechanisms in order to support better emerging situations and offer a solution to have acceptable transmission of the necessary video streams so that the control can get a complete overall picture of the situation and decide on the action to be taken. The simulation evaluation performed shows that multi-interfaces and multi-channels video transmission offers many advantages in Video Transmission in Emergency Response Ad hoc Networks.

应急响应自组网中视频传输的评价

由于移动设备的日益普及，移动自组网(manet)在无线通信中变得越来越重要。在应急响应情况下，在部署单元之间的网络信息流至关重要，manet也是必不可少的。在这种情况下，声音和视频传输对于形成对局势的全球看法和决定行动至关重要。然而，manet似乎不能有效地支持多媒体应用，特别是视频传输。在这项工作中，我们评估了在应急响应自组织网络中使用多接口和多通道进行视频传输。我们还对具有速率自适应的视频传输进行了评价。本文的目的是调整多接口和多通道视频传输机制，以支持更好的新出现的情况，并提供一个解决方案，以接受必要的视频流的传输，使控制可以得到一个完整的整体的情况，并决定要采取的行动。仿真结果表明，多接口、多通道视频传输方式在应急响应自组网视频传输中具有诸多优势。
