A dual-driven adaptive video system over WLAN

This paper proposes a dual-driven adaptive (D2D-Adap) video server system over wireless local area network (WLAN). In the system, the status of the wireless channel is monitored at the sender side, And at the receiver side, the packet loss rate, delay etc. are measured and fed back to the sender. The status information from both sides is used to adapt the encoding and transmission rate of the video in the server. The adaptation scheme in the proposed system can estimate the network channel situation accurately and quickly and can provide better video communication service over WLAN. The simulation and test results show that the proposed system can respond to the changes of the wireless channel quickly and therefore provide smoother video to clients.
