Abstract

The combination of bit-rate variability of compressed video traffic and inferior quality of a wireless fading channel causes low bandwidth efficiency, high data error rate, and long delay to wireless multimedia applications. In this paper, we analyze the drawbacks of conventional SR-ARQ for time- constrained traffic transmission, such as video. We also show the necessity of enhancing the existing data link protocols. Consequently, a new QoS aware SR-ARQ (QSR-ARQ) scheme is proposed. QSR-ARQ utilizes the layer property of MPEG video frames, as well as varied QoS requirements of different data sections to improve the protocol performance. A time spreading technique that based on clients' buffering capacity is also used in the study. This technique not only reduces the bit- rate fluctuation of video traffic but also alleviates the impact of burst link errors on MPEG video. Comprehensive computer simulations were used to compare the performance of the proposed QSR-ARQ with a conventional SR-ARQ using original video traffic and the pre-processed ones. The results proved the applicability and the effectiveness of the QSR-ARQ and the time spreading technique for transmitting MPEG videos with QoS guarantees in a wireless mobile environment. QSR-ARQ can also be applied to the component-based video compression applications.
