Title
Performance evaluation of variable bucket size coding with TCP for multimedia streaming over MANET routing protocols (WIP)
Abstract
Rising consumption of on-demand video streaming content has triggered significant research efforts to provide good quality content delivery with low wait-times for users while playback. Since, most internet-based streaming services use HTTP that runs on the Transmit Control Protocol (TCP), our focus is on providing low end-to-end delay while streaming video with TCP as the transport layer. To that end, a random linear coding-based set of enhancements to TCP's flow control called \"Variable Bucket Size Network Coding (VBNC)\" are proposed and the impact of those modifications across different routing protocols are studied for mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs). The VBNC enhancements to TCP address the issue of TCP's agnostic flow control with respect to the arriving traffic at the source and also handle the conservative approach towards flow control. The proposed algorithm has been implemented in ns-3 and the system performance is compared from the perspective of congestion window evolution, video end-to-end delay and video goodput. Our evaluation shows that without significant changes in the network stack, our algorithm is compatible with the currently widely used OLSR and AODV routing protocols and offers almost a 100% improvement in video goodput over TCP New Reno.
