The purpose of this study is to verify our live video transmission specifications in a real environment. We implemented a high-definition video transmitter that adjusts the video encoding rate according to the physical link status using a cross-layer rate control scheme. The transmitter will be used as reference equipment to practically evaluate the many simulated algorithms, because rate-control algorithms can be implemented in software regardless of the kind of physical layer. First, we explain the transmitter architecture, and then, report on our evaluation of the effectiveness of our cross-layer rate-control algorithm in comparison with a single application layer ratecontrol algorithm. We verified our algorithm can more quickly and accurately follow the link status than the single application layer rate-control algorithm using the implemented transmitter. Furthermore, we introduce an example in which the equipment can be easily used for other physical links because the reference equipment architecture abstracts the physical layer.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
