Abstract

Live video streaming in a MANET is very appealing, as well as challenging due to high variability of the network bandwidth. In this paper, we enhanced CLARC (cross-layer adaptive rate control) taking playback buffer size into considerations, and emulated it in qualnet with real encoder and decoder. Extensive emulations were carried out to evaluate its performance. The results show that CLARC reacts to network bandwidth quickly; shares the bottleneck bandwidth with other CLARC flows fairly; and coexists with TCP.

Keywords: Live video streaming MANET cross-layer adaptive rate control
