Abstract:
In this paper, we present an end-to-end adaptation scheme,
called the enhanced loss-delay based adaptation algorithm (LDA+) for regulating
the transmission behavior of multimedia senders in accordance with
the network congestion state. LDA+ uses the real-time transport protocol
(RTP) for collecting loss and delay statistics which are then used for adjusting
the transmission behavior of the senders in a manner similar to TCP
connections suffering from equal losses and delays. The performance of
LDA+ is then investigated by running several simulations as well as measurements
over the Internet. Additionally, by conducting simulations, the
performance of LDA+ is compared to that of other TCP-friendly congestion
control schemes presented in the literature.
