Abstract

A layered video multicast framework for differentiated service (DS) networks, which provides various levels of QoS guarantee for heterogeneous users with improved performance in network congestion adaptation, is examined in this research. The proposed system consists of three key components: extended active queue management, hierarchical priority marking, and receiver-driven layered multicast with ECN (RLME). Particularly, we introduce RLME protocol that effectively utilizes advanced features of active queues such as random early drop (RED) and early congestion notification (ECN) in DS networks. The RLME protocol quantitatively estimates the network congestion level via ECN and packet loss to improve adaptation capability to network congestion, and utilizes the priority service from DS networks to minimize the packet loss effect on reconstructed video quality. The simulation shows that the proposed system successfully achieves stable and controllable video QoS guarantee for heterogeneous video clients over DS networks.
