A first study on video transmission over a nanowireless network
Résumé
Video streaming is a growing application on the Internet, and its growing pace is not slowing down. There have been a tremendous amount of work on video streaming over the Internet but nobody has ever studied in detail video streaming over a nano-wireless network. We think that video streaming could be a potential application for nano-wireless networks and we know that video streaming is a challenging application for networks. First, video streaming is a real-time transmission meaning that it is sensitive to delay and jitter. Second, it is often better not to retransmit losses to avoid video freezing. That is why nano-wireless layers will probably have to be tuned for video streaming.
This article studies, through simulation, different scenarios of video transmission over a nanowireless network. We conclude that research needs better tools and models for such studies.
