H.264/MPEG-4 AVC Video Streaming Evaluation of LR-EE-AOMDV Protocol in MANET

Abstract

Deployment of conversational real-time applications like VoIP (Voice over IP) and videoconferencing require new challenges in Long-Term Evolution (LTE) networks such as Internet. Quality of video delivered over the Internet has been determined in terms of Quality-of-Service (QoS) and Quality-of-Experience (QoE). QoS includes packet delivery ratio, average end-to-end delay, throughput, routing overhead, etc. QoE is a qualitative measure of videos transmitted over Internet. In this paper, we evaluate the performance of Link Reliable Energy Efficient Ad hoc On-demand Multipath Distance Vector (LR-EE-AOMDV) routing on H.264/MPEG-4 AVC video streaming under both Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) and Enhanced Distributed Coordination Function (EDCF) using NS2.34 and Enhanced EvalVid framework. Simulation results show that the LR-EE-AOMDV performs better than AOMDV and OMMRE-AOMDV.
