Title
Network coding based resource efficient congestion control for video streaming
Abstract
The paper proposes a resource efficient solution for Network Coding (NC) based congestion control consisting in identification around the congested links of multiple butterfly or other low complexity NC-capable topologies by using the Discrete Lagrange Multiplier optimization algorithm. The identification of the NC-capable topologies is based on the resource management capabilities foreseen for the network entities of the Future Internet. The congestion control issue is tackled by separate encoding of appropriately selected groups of data flows passing through the bottleneck link. By optimal selection of the data flows to be encoded, the additional network resources required by the NC operations can be minimized. The encoding is realized by using an XOR-based algorithm adapted for unequal bit rate data flows, and the experimental performances are reported here. Due to its efficient usage of the network resources and high degree of scalability, the congestion control solution proposed in this paper is suitable for large bit rate transmissions, like video streaming.
