Abstract

Multimedia streaming is one of the main Internet services which tendency of significant growth stays unchanged. In this paper an empirical analysis for three most popular multimedia traffics (Videoconference, Video-on-Demand and Video-surveillance) has been conducted. The quality-of-service (QoS) performance has been evaluated in terms of distributed throughput for these three most popular internet services over a fixed Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) network. Measurement scenarios relate to cases where the wireless broadband link is used as a backhaul connection to the Internet. Typical cases of deployment are femtocell and connecting of rural areas where wired connections, such as fiber, are too expensive to be deployed.
