Abstract

A real-time video conferencing framework is proposed for multiple conferencing pairs by jointly considering the uplink and downlink conditions within IEEE 802.11 networks. We formulate this system so as to minimize the maximal end-to-end expected distortion received by all users by selecting the PHY modes and transmission time. Compared with the strategy of individually optimizing uplink and downlink, the proposed framework outperforms by 3.67-8.65 dB for the average received PSNR among all users.
