A Cross-Layer Framework for Multi-Layer-Video Multicast with QoS Requirements in Multirate Wireless Networks Academic Article

abstract

• We propose a cross-layer framework for efficient multi-layer-video multicast with rate adaptation and qualityof- service (QoS) requirements in multirate wireless networks. We employ time division multiple access at the physical layer to transmit different video layers data. The multicast sender then dynamically regulates the transmission rate and time-slot allocation based on the channel state information (CSI) and loss QoS requirements imposed by upper protocol layers. Under our proposed cross-layer framework, we first design a rate adaptation algorithm to fulfill the diverse loss QoS requirements for all video layers while achieving high multicast throughput. We then develop a time-slot allocation scheme which synchronizes data transmission across different video layers. Also conducted are simulation results to validate and evaluate our designed adaptive multicasting schemes under the proposed cross-layer framework. 2009 IEEE.
