Abstract

With the convergence of wired line Internet and mobile wireless networks, it's important to study its impacts on continuous media delivery and media streaming protocols. In this paper, we propose an end-to-end (wireless) multimedia streaming TCP-friendly protocol for media delivery over wireless Internet (WMSTFP). WMSTFP can effectively differentiate erroneous packet losses from congestive losses and filter out the abnormal round-trip-time values due to the highly varying wireless environment. Analytical and simulation results show that WMSTFP can achieve higher throughput in wireless Internet and can perform rate adjustment in a smooth and TCP-friendly manner.
