Simulation of an Adaptive video streaming based-user control using TCP parameters

15239

On the last few years, Media streaming services over TCP have become very popular because TCP’s congestion control provides remarkable stability to the Internet. To offer a high quality of Media and also a good user satisfaction, the media streaming service requires the adaptation of the bandwidth availability and other network parameters. Nowadays the streaming video can be projected on different kinds of terminal as tablet, smart phones, laptop....etc. Each user (device) has its own characteristics and parameters which must be taken in consideration on the video streaming adaptation process. The classic Adaptive video streaming services do not take in consideration the user parameters on the adaptation process. In this paper we propose an adaptive video streaming solution to improve the user satisfaction factor by adapting TCP parameters according to the user parameters on mobile networks. The user satisfaction factor is calculated according to the quality of experience (QoE) methods. We validate the work with a simulation using the ns2 simulator.
