Title
Enhancing the Performance of Video Streaming in Wireless Mesh Networks
Abstract
Multihop wireless mesh networks (WMNs) provide ubiquitous wireless access in a large area with less dependence on wired networks. However, some emerging applications with high bandwidth requirement and delay and loss constraints, such as video streaming, suffer poor performance in WMNs, since high compression rates and/or high packet loss rates deteriorate the video quality. In this paper, we propose a novel mechanism composed of (1) a network route selection scheme which provides paths for multiple video streams with the least interference, called Minimum Interference Route Selection (MIROSE) and (2) an optimization algorithm that determines the compression rates depending on the network condition, called Network State Dependent Video Compression Rate (NSDVCR) algorithm. Simulation results of the proposed mechanisms show the significant improvement of the video quality measured with a popular metric, Peak-Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR), compared with standard routing and default compression rates.
