Cross-Layer Design Based Rate Control for Mobile Multicast in Cellular Networks

Cross-layer design has been used in streaming video over the wireless channels to optimize the overall system performance. In this paper, we extend our previous work on joint design of source rate control and congestion control for video streaming over the wired channel, and propose a cross-layer design approach for wireless video streaming. First, we extend the QoS-aware congestion control mechanism (TFRCC) proposed in our previous work to the wireless scenario, and provide a detailed discussion about how to enhance the overall performance in terms of rate smoothness and responsiveness of the transport protocol. Then, we extend our previous joint design work to the wireless scenario, and a thorough performance evaluation is conducted to investigate its performance. Simulation results show that by cross-layer design of source rate control at application layer and congestion control at transport layer, and by taking advantage of the MAC layer information, our approach can avoid the throughput degradation caused by wireless link error, and better support the QoS requirements of the application. Thus, the playback quality is significantly improved, while good performance of the transport protocol is still preserved.

In the wireless sensor network (WSN), wireless communication is said to be the dominant power-consuming operation and it is a challenging one. Virtual Multiple-Input–Multiple-Output (V-MIMO) technology is considered to be the energy-saving method in the WSN. In this paper, a novel multihop virtual MIMO communication protocol is designed in the WSN via cross-layer design to enhance the energy efficiency, reliability, and end-to-end (ETE) and Quality of Service (QoS) provisioning. On the basis of the proposed protocol, the optimal set of parameters concerning the transmission and the overall consumed energy by each of the packets is found. Furthermore, the modeling of ETE latency and throughput of the protocol takes place with respect to the bit-error-rate (BER). A novel hybrid optimization algorithm referred as Flight Straight Moth Updated Particle Swarm Optimization (FS-MUP) is introduced to find the optimal BER that meets the QoS, ETE requirements of each link with lower power consumption. Finally, the performance of the proposed model is evaluated over the extant models in terms of Energy Consumption and BER as well.
