Adaptive QoS Control of Multimedia Transmission Over Band-limited Networks.pptVIP

Adaptive QoS Control of Multimedia Transmission Over Band-limited Networks Presenter: Hu Huang Nov. 2002 Background Users of next generation communication devices (cellular phones and PDAs) will increasingly require access to multimedia contents(video etc.) on internet, which places heavy demand on the Quality of service(QoS) control mechanism due to limited network bandwidth resources, varying channel conditions(e.g. fading) and limited device capabilities(e.g. processing power, display size). The heterogeneous nature of the Internet and other band-limited networks means that it is often unrealistic to rely on network routers for QoS support. In contrast, application-layer QoS mechanisms that do not rely on the network tend to provide most robust solutions and are compatible with even very poor network condition, which may also be time varying. So, an adaptive and robust QoS algorithm (from transport perspective) for band-limited networks was proposed in this paper.
