A Comprehensive Evaluation of Different Loss Recovery Schemes in Peer-to-Peer Live Video Streaming over WMNs

Abstract

In the recent years, Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) has become popular for video multicasting. Although peer-to-peer communication lets wireless nodes improves the functionality of the video streaming applications over WMNs, required level of Quality-of-Service (QoS) is one of the most important challenges in these systems. Therefore, it is necessary to introduce new or enhance existing techniques in order to increase QoS for providing better perceived video quality on receivers. In this paper, different loss recovery schemes in peer-to-peer live video streaming over wireless mesh networks are evaluated precisely. The obtained results show how the provided efficiency by each of these schemes can improve the level of the introduced QoS in peer-to-peer live video streaming over WMNs.
