Abstract
Conference Title: 2015 ICC - 2015 IEEE International Conference on Communications Workshops (ICC) Conference Start Date: 2015, June 8 Conference End Date: 2015, June 12 Conference Location: London, United Kingdom This paper proposes an approach for the evaluation of DASH-based video transmission from a server located in a Content Delivery Network (CDN) to multiple LTE users. The approach is based on utilizing an analytical model for the HTTP/TCP transmission in the wired/core link, and simulation traces for the packet transmission in the wireless/access link. The core and access link are separately considered by using the Wireless Transmission Control Protocol (WTCP) at the eNodeB, and three scheduling approaches are used for delivering the video packets in the access link. Therefore, in our proposed approach, we emulate DASH-based end-to-end video delivery and observe how the scheduling strategy affects the video streaming quality depending on the number of users in the system.
