A hybrid wavelet framework for modeling VBR video traffic Conference Paper uri icon

abstract

  • Traffic models play an important role in network simulation and performance analysis. This paper presents a frame-level hybrid framework for modeling variable bitrate (VBR) video traffic. To accurately capture long-range dependent (LRD) and short-range dependent (SRD) properties of video traffic, we incorporate elements of wavelet-domain analysis into classical time-domain modeling found in prior work. However, unlike previous studies, we analyze and successfully model both inter-GOP and intra-GOP correlation. Through the use of QQ plots and leaky-bucket simulations, we evaluate the accuracy of our approach and demonstrate that the autocorrelation function and the frame-size distribution of synthetic traffic match those of the original traffic very well. The leaky-bucket simulation also demonstrates that our model effectively preserves the temporal burstiness of the original video and can be used to predict buffer overflow probabilities and network packet loss. 2004 IEEE.
