In this paper we explore the use of a new rate–distortion metric for optimizing real-time Internet video streaming with the transmission control protocol (TCP). We lay out the groundwork by developing a simple model that characterizes the expected latency for packets send with TCP-Reno. Subsequently, we develop an analytical model of the expected video distortion at the decoder with respect to the expected latency for TCP, the packetization mechanism, and the error-concealment method used at the decoder. Characterizing the duo protocol/channel more accurately, we obtain a better estimate of the expected distortion and the available channel rate. This better knowledge is exploited with the design of a new algorithm for rate–distortion optimized encoding mode selection for video streaming with TCP. Experimental results for real-time video streaming depict improvement in PSNR in the range of 2 dB over metrics that do not consider the behavior of the transport protocol.
