Abstract

Emerging broadband entertainment applications such as IPTV (Internet protocol television) and whole-house PVR (personal video recorder) bring new challenges to existing home networks. Gigabit Ethernet is an obvious choice, but consumers are still reluctant due to the need for rewiring in most dwellings. Several ldquono-new-wiresrdquo technologies have been proposed in recent years, but there is little work on how to distribute IPTV, VoIP (voice over IP) and data traffic together effectively and efficiently in a household environment. In this paper, we propose a wireless/wired-hybrid, multi-link structure for broadband home networks, and investigate its feasibility and performance through a multimedia over multi-link testbed. Our measurement study shows that the proposed multi-link structure can improve the performance, reliability and availability of home networks considerably, indicating that it is an attractive approach to multimedia in-home distribution. In addition, the paper also discusses the challenges and approaches in further improving the performance of heterogeneous, multi-link home networks.

评估“无新线路”家庭网络

新兴的宽带娱乐应用如IPTV (Internet protocol television)和全屋PVR (personal video recorder)给现有的家庭网络带来了新的挑战。千兆以太网是一个显而易见的选择，但由于大多数住宅需要重新布线，消费者仍然不愿意。近年来已经提出了几种新型无线技术，但如何在家庭环境中有效地分配IPTV, VoIP (IP语音)和数据流量的工作很少。本文提出了一种用于宽带家庭网络的无线/有线混合多链路结构，并通过多媒体多链路试验台对其可行性和性能进行了研究。我们的测量研究表明，所提出的多链路结构可以显著提高家庭网络的性能、可靠性和可用性，这表明它是一种有吸引力的家庭多媒体分发方法。此外，本文还讨论了进一步提高异构多链路家庭网络性能所面临的挑战和方法。
