Video streaming service over wireless networks is a challenging task because of the changes in the wireless channel conditions that can occur due to interference, fading, and station mobility. Moreover, the IEEE 802.11 WLAN standard does not contain any specifications for the rate adaptation scheme which are useful for improving the wireless link utilization. To provide efficient wireless video streaming service, the rate adaptation scheme should be applied at the low layer and the quality adaptation scheme should be considered at the high layer. To meet this requirement of wireless video streaming, we propose a new cross-layer design for video streaming over wireless networks. This design includes the rate adaptation scheme in the data link and physical layers and the quality adaptation scheme in the application layer. The rate adaptation scheme adjusts the data transmission rate based on the measured RSSI at the sender-side and informs the quality adaptation scheme about the rate limits. Then the quality adaptation scheme utilizes this rate limits to adjust the quality of the video stream. Through performance evaluations, we prove that our cross-layer design improves the wireless link utilization and the quality of the video stream simultaneously.
