Abstract

This paper presents two schemes to improve the transmission of real-time MPEG-I video over a FDDI network. Multiple classes of MPEG-I video will be used in the study and what makes this simulation study different from the others is the different kinds of MPEG-I video data we used. These data are captured from real video programmes and we categorized these video clips according to their workload characteristics. The performance of the FDDI network is examined in terms of the maximum number of MPEG-I video streams got transmitted over the network without missing their deadlines. This simulation study observed that by employing the Intentional-delay scheme, we can improve the performance by an average of 35%. From another set of simulation experiment, when applying the Frame-grouping scheme for MPEG-I transmission, we can improve the performance up to 150%
