A simulation study of delivery of streaming video on-demand via IEEE 802.16 based technologies is described. A number of scenarios are simulated which are representative of rural area deployments of such technologies. The study finds that IEEE 802.16 can support up to 9/10 simultaneous users streaming typical cinematic video content in CIF resolution, 24 frames/s, at average rates of around 750 kbps. Further, the study demonstrates the utility of H.264/AVC Scalable Video Coding (SVC) and a buffer-based congestion control algorithm in an adaptive video streaming solution.
