Abstract

A conference traffic model is formulated and link level and conference level congestion measures are derived. Motivated by the advantages of sharing transmission resources in time assigned speech interpolation (TASI) related voice communication systems, an analogous transmission policy for conference videos is proposed. The quantification of conference traffic also alloys an admission policy to be set so that the network can accommodate as many conferences as possible without violating conference quality constraints
